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.

"The level of communication was outstanding."
Nick Deets was our family’s attorney for my mother’s wrongful death case. Mr. Deets came highly recommended during our family’s search for legal representation. We were very impressed with Mr. Deets during our initial visit and immediately signed up with him. Mr. Deets was available to us as needed while our case was active. He kept us informed every step of the way. The level of communication was outstanding. Without going into detail, there was an aspect to our case that Mr. Deets uncovered. Most attorneys would have never made this discovery- and in the end, it raised the level of the conclusion of our case substantially. This is exactly why we wanted a competent and experienced attorney. Mr. Deets went toe to toe with the opposition at every step of the way. He fought for every inch. You never have to wonder whose side the attorney is on if you hire this firm. Most people only go through a tragedy once in their lifetime. The loss in our case was unfathomable. Our family is so grateful that we didn’t make the situation worse by having a negative experience law firm. Our family was extremely satisfied with the job performance of our attorney, Nick Deets. We pray that we never experience the unfathomable loss that necessitated the need to hire an attorney again. If we should ever have to hire an attorney again, we would hire this law firm again with no hesitation whatsoever. That is probably the strongest recommendation anyone could give. Thanks for everything.- Kenneth E. -
