Skilled Airplane Accident Attorneys in San Antonio, Texas
At the Hollingsworth Law Firm, our San Antonio aviation accident attorneys know that no one — whether they are traveling for business or pleasure — expects an air disaster to occur while they are onboard a private or commercial airplane, charter flight, or helicopter.
In fact, the chances of a plane crashing are approximately 1 in 1.2 million. The annual risk of being killed in an airplane crash is about 1 in 11 million. Comparatively, the annual risk of being killed in a motor vehicle crash for the average American is about 1 in 5,000.
While the statistics of a deadly crash occurring may be slim, injurious aviation accidents can happen without notice. The San Antonio International Airport (SAT) averages 260 daily departures and arrivals at its 24 gates, which serve 12 airlines flying non-stop to 53 destinations in the US and Mexico.
Our Texas airplane accident attorneys know passengers on these flights can be subjected to in-air challenges, including mechanical failures, human error, weather, or another danger that requires emergency landings, which can result in serious injuries. When our Bexar, Comal, and Medina County residents are hurt, our personal injury lawyers and support staff provide the critical legal resources our fellow Texans need to pursue results.
Collectively, our skilled San Antonio airplane accident attorneys have spent more than three decades working on both sides of the courtroom, gaining unparalleled experience of the inner workings of some of the world’s largest insurance companies, and transforming that knowledge into wins for our clients.
We can pursue the same results for you and your family. Contact us today to learn more.
Who is Liable for Airplane Accidents in San Antonio, Texas?
All aviation accidents are carefully investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). In conjunction with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) — which regulates the aviation industry and sets standards for pilots, air traffic controllers, airport authorities, aircraft manufacturers, and parts suppliers — the NTSB will determine who or what was the origin of an aviation incident, no matter how minor, severe, or catastrophic.
Based on the NTSB investigation, which includes preserving evidence, rebuilding the airplane or another aviation vehicle, and interviewing all involved parties, the agency will make a precise determination of the cause of the crash or defect that led to an emergency landing.
That may include:
- Aircraft mechanical errors, which may include parts failures.
- Human error.
- Error or misjudgment by the aircraft pilot.
- Air traffic controller error.
- Flight service station employee negligence.
- Defects on the airport runway.
- Third party’s carrier negligence.
- Not adhering to FAA regulations.
- Negligence in fueling the aircraft.
- Poor maintenance of any part of the aircraft.
- Structural or design defects that went unchecked or were never fixed.

Should I Speak to Investigators After a Texas Airplane Accident Occurs?

Steve is the real deal! He is an extremely invaluable resource on all things Litigation for me as a younger attorney. He is not only great a securing the bigger verdicts, but actually cares about the clients and still sticks by his tried and true method of meeting, in person, with his clients to go over facts . overall, a solid attorney, with a wealth of knowledge!
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.
