Yes. General aviation law applies to all civilian aircraft regardless of whether they are commercial or private. If you have been injured in a military aircraft accident, the legal standard will differ. Our airplane accident attorneys can help you understand which laws were violated during your crash, so you understand the complete scope of your personal injury or wrongful death legal claim.
Before our skilled airplane accident attorneys can pursue the negligent party that caused our client’s injuries or the death of their loved one, a complete investigation must be completed first. Common parties that are liable for airplane crashes may include the aircraft’s owner and/or operator, manufacturer, or maintenance suppliers, to name a few.
After an airplane crash, there are going to be multiple parties interested in making these tragic circumstances go away quickly. Many injured parties and/or their family members would like to put this traumatic experience behind them as well, but the reality is, the insurance company is not looking out for your best interests. Contacting an experienced airplane accident attorney will ensure your rights are protected from the start, and that you have access to the maximum compensation for your complete damages.
At the Hollingsworth Law Firm, our skilled airplane accident attorneys review all personal injury cases during free consultations, so it costs nothing to share your story with our legal professionals. If you have a viable personal injury or wrongful death case, our attorney fees are defined by a percentage of the amount of money that is recovered in your lawsuit. That means no upfront legal fees, and no fees at all if we do not win your case.
While an estimated 96% of all personal injury cases end in a settlement outside of the courtroom, our law firm founder, Steve Hollingworth, has been the lead attorney in over 50 jury trials as lead counsel in over a dozen different Texas counties. Should your case go to trial, we will be ready to aggressively pursue the positive outcome you deserve in front of a judge and/or jury. The insurance company will value a case more if they know the firm is willing to go to trial. At the Hollingworth Law Firm, we are more than willing — we remain trial ready.

After working with Steve for a couple of years, I found Steve to be an outstanding, aggressive and highly skilled lawyer in the courtroom. His confidence and knowledge of the courtroom and what it takes to succeed there, I believe will ensure his long term prosperity.
I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven's presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
