U.S. Airline Chance Events

The Law Offices of Sean M. Cleary helps passengers injured during commercial and general aviation, whether in-flight or in the course of boarding or disembarking the aircraft.

• Commercial aviation accidents. Commercial aviation is the part of civil aviation traditionally referring to scheduled flights operated by large airlines. At The Law Offices of Sean M. Cleary, we have successfully represented individuals injured in airplane accidents, turbulence, emergency evacuations, and many other types of airport and in-flight accidents while recovering millions of dollars for our clients. We are equally comfortable in state and federal courts.

• In-flight accidents. In-flight injuries may be caused by various events, including but not limited to turbulence, coffee and hot liquid burns, service cart impacts, or overhead bin malfunctions. Our attorney can help passengers injured during the course of a flight.
• Airport accidents. Yearly, tens of millions of travelers move through airports. Unfortunately, many are injured during travel due to defective and dangerous conditions caused by the airlines, transportation authorities, and their contractors. The most common causes of accidents are falls on jetways and boarding ramps, escalators and boarding staircases, and slippery floors.

Airline chance events can have serious consequences for those involved in them. These consequences can be fatal, but not always. In some cases, serious physical injury can result, or even simply severe emotional and mental trauma. Economic damages such as medical costs, lost wages, and decreased earning capacity are important for an injured airline passenger to seek out, but noneconomic damages can be equally and even more important, depending on the circumstances of the case.
