Aviation Incidents
Aviation injuries or deaths can arise from a number of incidents. These include pilot errors, air traffic controller negligence (for example, failure to advise of known dangerous weather conditions and to properly respond to dangerous aircraft positions shown on radar), careless maintenance and/or repair, or poor design of a plane or helicopter. Weather may also be a factor, including pilot knowledge and air traffic control communication in evaluating the conduct of the pilot or air traffic controller.
Most aviation incidents and accidents involve general aviation rather than commercial aviation. In 2008, there were 1,559 general aviation accidents, and 275 of those accidents involved fatalities. In the same year, there were 20 scheduled airline incidents, some of which involved a fatality.
Regardless of the type of aviation incident involved, expert testimony is required to establish liability. Hovde Dassow + Deets has the resources to obtain the most qualified experts necessary to evaluate an aircraft incident and to testify as to any negligence revealed by that investigation.

"Mr. Hovde and his staff were stellar in the way they handled our case!"
Mr. Rick Hovde was recommended to us by our personal attorney and a customer of ours with our family business. Mr. Hovde was also featured as one of the top 3 personal injury attorneys on the front of the Indianapolis Monthly publication. A few years back, I suffered the personal loss of my wife due to what I believe was medical malpractice. Mr. Hovde and his staff were stellar in the way they handled our case! Winning a medical malpractice case is no easy task, but he won ours. In my opinion, he is the best at what he does. I appreciated his attention to detail and was very impressed with his resolve to do the best job possible for a favorable outcome. I would strongly recommend Rick Hovde to anyone needing a great malpractice attorney.- LSC -

"I can’t thank Nick Deets and his staff enough for assisting me with my personal injury case."
I can’t thank Nick Deets and his staff enough for assisting me with my personal injury case. It was confusing and very emotional in the beginning. Nick was patient, explained how and when to expect the case to play out. Nick and staff were quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. My case finalized sooner than expected thanks to Nick’s expertise. I was thrilled with the result and settlement of my case!- Beth R. -
