Each day across the nation, there are people who use airplanes and helicopters to travel without incident, but all too often, many other people suffer serious or life-threatening injuries. Some lose their lives. What they and their families do next will shape their futures. When aviation accidents happen, people call Arnold & Itkin.

Our Trial Attorneys Take Every Case Personally
Helicopter and plane crashes are life-altering. People who’ve gone through them usually come away with physical and psychological scars.
That’s why our firm takes every case personally.
By seeing clients as family, we’re able to look at their case from their point of view. Sharing their experience makes us even more determined to get what they need from the people at fault and ensure they’re taken care of for life.
Key Aspects of an Aviation Accident Case
Whatever the factors were in your crash, there will likely be some details that you can expect to come up in your case, whether it's a helicopter crash in the ocean or an accident at an airport. An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is one such common aspect of any aviation accident, and an investigation by any party will involve looking at whether there were violations of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. These investigations can be critical in determining who is liable, or at fault for the accident.
Who could be liable for your aviation accident? Some possible parties include:
- The pilot(s)
- Aircraft owner and/or manufacturer
- Air traffic controllers
- Airlines
Whether these or other parties are to blame for the aviation accident in question, the victims are often entitled to compensation to help them pay for related medical costs, income losses, pain and suffering, disability, and more. In wrongful death cases, surviving relatives may have the right to sue for funeral costs, pain and suffering, and more.
Houston Aviation Accident Lawyers with a Reputation for Winning
Aviation accidents often come with the additional pressure of news coverage. At Arnold & Itkin, our law firm is no stranger to that kind of scrutiny and attention.

Our Aviation Accident Lawyers Will Never Be Outworked
The insurance companies for airlines and helicopter companies are the most well-funded and well-defended companies in the industry.

As your lawyers, it’s our job to level the playing field and give you a fighting chance.
That’s how we’ve won some of the toughest cases in history.
We know that airplane and helicopter accidents are the most complex events to investigate and litigate.
