Atlanta, Georgia Commercial Aviation Accident Lawyer: Attorney Jonathan Johnson

Commercial aviation accident cases are unique because it is usually easy to establish liability for the accident. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) generally conducts an extensive investigation immediately after any such crash to determine its cause. Accordingly, we strongly believe that in this situation the vast majority of any recovery should go to the victims’ families rather than to pay attorneys. Our job in those cases is primarily to deal with the damages issues which are unique to each client. Accordingly, we will accept these cases on reduced contingency fees of 10%. Let an experienced member of the legal team at our Atlanta, Georgia firm help you. Each aviation accident lawyer is committed to protecting the rights of victims and their families. Please contact Jonathan Johnson immediately by filling out the contact form to the right, or by calling the office directly at 404-298-8995.

General Aviation: Georgia Plane Crash Attorney

We are also experienced in General Aviation cases which involve private aircraft. For General Aviation accident cases, we generally charge a contingent fee of one-third of the recovery. However, if we are retained by multiple families in one accident, we would agree to reduce our fees because the costs of investigating liability for the accident can be divided among several cases.
