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.

We had a great experience working with Nick Deets and Tyler. They listened, gave needed guidance, and walked us through every step of our legal process. They were very knowledgeable and made an emotionally trying experience bearable (even enjoyable at times). I highly recommend this legal team!- CariBloomington, IN -
"Highly recommend Mr. Deets & would suggest that you consult with him first!"
I have had 2 fairly significant legal issues in the past few years and Nick Deets has represented me and a family member very professionally and thoroughly. Sometimes as a client we have preconceived feelings about our legal issues but Mr. Deets helped us sort through the emotions versus the legal issues and in the first case, he helped my family member out tremendously from a legal perspective and we had great results from his efforts. Not only did Mr. Deets give us great legal counsel and we had great outcomes, he personally assisted our family members receiving additional assistance in dealing with a very sensitive matter. Mr. Deets is a wonderful communicator but as a good lawyer must, he has to and must be frank with you about your legal case. If you want a great lawyer that is going to help you legally and not waste your time by telling you what you want to hear, then this law firm is the one you should select.
The second case that Mr. Deets assisted me within a personal injury case for me. Because of his reputation and our great relationship, I asked him for assistance with a personal injury case for myself. Mr. Deets is co-counsel on an out-of-state issue and because of his reputation, he referred me to a highly respected and successful attorney out of state. The case has yet to settle but once again Mr. Deets provided a great recommendation to me and he has helped me come to grips with the reality of my case and has been very helpful to me by answering questions I didn’t feel confident about asking my current attorney. Fortunately for me, they both concurred on my potential outcome and I feel my case is going to have a positive outcome for me.
The other thing I like about this firm is that if they cannot help you or feel someone else can represent you in a more favorable manner then they will refer you to another firm. I like and highly recommend Mr. Deets and would suggest that you consult with him before making a final decision on the attorney you want to represent you.- Charles P. -
"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 -
