We Represent Victims of Aviation Crashes

  • Commercial airline accidents
  • Private and charter plane crashes
  • Helicopter incidents (including offshore and EMS)
  • Drone-related injuries
  • Ground injuries from falling aircraft debris

Aviation crashes are among the most complex personal injury cases due to the overlapping legal issues, federal regulations, and technical evidence involved. Every incident demands a thorough investigation and careful legal strategy. From pilot error to mechanical failure, no matter how the incident occurred, we take the time to understand your story, investigate the facts, and pursue the strongest legal claim possible on your behalf.

What Causes Aviation Accidents?

Behind every crash is a chain of human, mechanical, or systemic failures. We work with top aviation specialists to uncover precisely what went wrong. 

  • Pilot error: Inexperience, poor judgment, fatigue, or failure to respond to changing weather or technical issues
  • Mechanical failures: Faulty engines, missing inspections, or ignored maintenance requirements
  • Air traffic control mistakes: Miscommunication, improper spacing, or neglected warnings
  • Design flaws or manufacturing defects: Aircraft systems that fail due to poor design or defective parts
  • Weather conditions: Icy runways, severe turbulence, or visibility problems worsened by pilot decisions

How We Investigate Aviation Accidents

Our team at Trust Guss Injury Lawyers moves quickly to investigate every aviation accident with precision and care. We collect black box data, flight logs, maintenance records, and FAA reports to identify what went wrong and who’s responsible. We consult aviation professionals, interview witnesses, and examine wreckage to uncover causes like pilot error, mechanical failure, or oversight by airlines, charter operators, or manufacturers. 

Don’t Face Aviation Insurers Alone

Fast action is critical—evidence disappears, and companies close ranks. That’s why we begin every case with a detailed, aggressive investigation focused on protecting your rights and securing the compensation you deserve. Call 888-298-4070 now or reach out online—we’re ready to help.

Who Can File an Aviation Accident Claim in Houston?

If you were injured or lost a family member in an aviation accident in Houston, you may be eligible to file a claim. That includes passengers on commercial or private flights, family members of passengers killed in crashes, ground victims impacted by aircraft debris or crashes, or employees injured in helicopter or small aircraft operations. 

In some cases, international aviation treaties like the Montreal Convention apply, allowing injured passengers to recover damages even without proving fault. For domestic flights, traditional Texas personal injury laws apply.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

  • Medical bills and hospital expenses
  • Lost income and reduced future earnings
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Loss of companionship (in wrongful death cases)
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence

What Makes These Cases So Complex?

Unlike car accidents, aviation crashes trigger federal investigations and involve multiple layers of responsibility. We routinely handle:

If international carriers are involved, we apply the Montreal Convention or ICAO standards to your case. These cross-border complexities require skilled, experienced attorneys who understand aviation law, engineering, and litigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do aviation lawsuits always go to federal court?

Not always. While many aviation claims involve federal law, others—especially those involving local charter flights or helicopter crashes—may proceed in Texas state court.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Most claims must be filed within two years under Texas personal injury statutes. Don’t wait—timelines vary depending on flight type and international law.

What if I wasn’t on the flight but was hurt on the ground?

You still have rights. We represent bystanders and ground victims in aviation-related incidents who suffer injuries or property loss.

Will I have to face the airline in court?

Not necessarily. Many cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it will go to court to strengthen your position.
