Aircraft incidents are rare—but when they happen, the consequences can be devastating. At Stoops Law Firm, we represent individuals and businesses harmed by airplane crashes, helicopter crashes, emergency landings, runway incidents, and aircraft malfunctions.

Aviation cases are legally complex and often involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and aggressive insurance carriers. Stoops Law Firm is an experienced Colorado personal‑injury practice headquartered in Centennial and serving clients across the Denver metropolitan area and throughout the Rocky Mountain region. We combine aviation-specific knowledge with courtroom skill to stand up to insurers, corporations, and other at-fault parties.

Aviation Accidents Can Cause Serious Damage and Life-Changing Injuries

Airplane and aircraft incidents can result in far more than mechanical loss. Even small aircraft accidents may cause:

  • Severe bodily injury or wrongful death
  • Destruction of homes, vehicles, hangars, or commercial buildings
  • Fires and fuel-related damage
  • Environmental contamination
  • Long-term financial losses and business interruption

Unlike ordinary personal injury cases, aviation claims frequently involve FAA regulations, aviation maintenance standards, pilot training requirements, and federal jurisdiction issues. These cases demand careful investigation and experienced legal handling.

Who May Be Liable in an Aviation Accident?

One of the most important aspects of an airplane injury or property damage case is identifying all responsible parties. Depending on the circumstances, liability may extend to:

  • The pilot or aircraft operator
  • Aircraft owners or leasing companies
  • Maintenance and repair providers
  • Manufacturers of defective parts or systems
  • Flight schools or employers
  • Airports or ground service providers

Insurance and Bad Faith Issues Are Common in Aviation Accidents

Insurance companies frequently attempt to minimize, deny, or shift responsibility after an aviation incident. Many aviation claims ultimately hinge on insurance coverage disputes, including disagreements over liability coverage, policy limits, exclusions, and how responsibility is allocated among multiple insurers. Stoops Law Firm represents aircraft owners, operators, and injured parties in pursuing full coverage, challenging improper denials, and protecting their financial interests in high-stakes aviation insurance claims.
