Aviation and plane accidents are rare. And air travel is statistically much safer than automotive travel. The odds of being injured or dying in an airplane accident in the U.S. are minuscule.
Unfortunately, when aviation accidents do occur, they cause devastating, often fatal consequences.
Aviation accidents can occur in a private plane, helicopters, private jets, and certain modes of transportation to job sites and oil rigs.
Assigning fault in an aviation accident is a highly complex task. It can take years of litigation to collect compensation.
Because aviation lawsuits involve multiple complicated legal and factual challenges, hiring a Houston aviation accident lawyer skilled in establishing fault, proving causation and negligence, and applying the proper laws is essential to a successful resolution.

We suggest speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after your injury. Something to keep in mind is that all personal injury cases need evidence, and that evidence often degrades over time. As a result, many jurisdictions have a strict statute of limitations (or time limit) for filing a claim. In Texas, most victims have only two years from the date of injury to file, so it is important to start building your case immediately.
In the state of Texas, employers have the option of filing for workers’ compensation insurance. This policy covers them in case an employee suffers an injury on the job. However, some employers choose to be non-subscribers, which means they opt out of this coverage and lose certain legal protections. This means that if an injured employee sues them after a work injury, they may end up paying more damages. In addition, they may be liable for pain and suffering, punitive damages, and medical benefits. Learn more about non-subscriber injuries here.
The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) keeps track of employers that report their non-subscriber status. Currently, you can find a spreadsheet of every reported non-subscriber business in Texas under TDI’s workers’ compensation insurance coverage verification page. This includes the business address, business name, and filing dates. Learn more here.
There are a few different ways to manage your bills while waiting for your case to settle. For medical treatment, it is common to arrange a lien with the doctor’s office or hospital. A medical lien is essentially an agreement to pay back your treatment costs with a portion of your potential settlement. Another option for miscellaneous bills, such as rent, utilities, or other essential expenses, is lawsuit funding. Much like a lien, you pay these loans back with a portion of your settlement or judgment. However, these loans have high interest rates and fees, so be sure to discuss this option with your attorney.
