San Francisco Airplane Crash Attorneys
Experienced in Fighting Corporate Defendants and Insurance Companies
Small planes, like helicopters, are highly vulnerable to failed engines. When a small plane's engine fails, it is often unable to remain in the air, especially if flying conditions are already challenging.
At the San Francisco-area law firm of O'Reilly Collins, we have focused our practice largely on aviation accidents for 40 years. We know that the large-scale insurance companies that insure planes will use their full resources to fight your claim and attempt to minimize the compensation you receive. We never give up and our diligence has resulted in dozens of high-value awards for injured clients and their families.
Recent Cases Illustrate Our Effectiveness in Handling Small-plane Engine Failure Cases:
- We represented a pilot who seriously injured his back in a hard landing when his engine failed at 400 feet. Our investigation revealed that engine repair workers failed to properly reassemble the engine and inspectors signed sign-off sheets without an inspection. We settled the case for $6 million.
- We represented the widow of a pilot whose engine quit at the airport while he flew in Hawaii. We settled the case for $9.5 million.
- We currently represent the family of a flight instructor who was killed at Palm Beach International Airport. His twin-engine plane allegedly experienced engine failure. We are investigating the case.
