What do plane accident lawyers do?

We work to determine liability, which may involve multiple parties including aircraft manufacturers, maintenance companies, pilots, or airlines.

At Douglas R. Beam, P.A., we handle all aspects of your case, from initial investigation through settlement negotiations or trial. We work to secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages while providing compassionate support throughout the legal process.
What types of damages can I receive compensation for in a plane accident case?
Victims of plane accidents may be eligible for various types of compensation, including:
- Medical expenses (current and future)

Our experienced team will carefully evaluate all aspects of your case to ensure we pursue maximum compensation for every applicable damage category.
What is the statute of limitations for plane accident cases?
In Florida, plane accident victims have two years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is strictly enforced, and failing to file within this timeframe typically results in losing your right to seek compensation.
However, aviation cases can involve complex jurisdictional issues and federal regulations that may affect these deadlines. We recommend contacting our office as soon as possible after an incident to ensure your rights are protected.
How is liability determined in a plane accident?
Determining liability in plane accidents involves thorough investigation and expert analysis. Multiple parties may be responsible, including:
- Pilots or flight crew
- Aircraft manufacturers
- Maintenance providers
- Air traffic controllers
- Airlines or charter companies
Our team works with aviation experts to analyze flight data, maintenance records, weather conditions, and other factors to establish liability and build a strong case for our clients.
How does no cost representation for plane accident cases work?
At Douglas R. Beam, P.A., we handle plane accident cases on a contingency fee basis. This means we don't charge any legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation for you. During your free initial consultation, we'll review your case details and explain how our contingency fee structure works.
