Although airplane accidents are less common then traffic accidents, they still occur, not only in large metropolitan areas like Chicago, but also in many cities across Illinois and the USA. After a plane crash, the airline often moves quickly, calling the immediate family to issue what they call condolence payments, financial assistance, or advance payments to help cover funeral expenses and immediate needs. Be careful not to agree to full and final settlement. Do not make important financial decisions based on emotions. There is no hurry to bring these matters to a quick conclusion. You would be wise to consult with a law firm such as Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC as soon as possible, so they can advise you on the best way to approach this devastating event.
We advance all costs in our aircraft accident cases and seek no attorney fees unless we are able to obtain a recovery on your behalf.
The most common causes of aircraft accidents includes:
Airline companies have claims adjusters and lawyers advising them on how best to limit their liability and exposure to claims. Do not attempt to deal with them without equal representation from a law firm that knows what they are doing.
The general advice of our lawyers is never to accept an advance payment without first consulting a qualified attorney. When you sign an advance payment check, you may also be signing away your rights. Our attorneys will do everything possible to see that your immediate financial needs are met, when dealing with the airlines and their attorneys.
