Answers to Your Questions:

What is the first step to pursuing a legal claim?

The initial step in pursuing a legal claim is to identify attorneys who best suit your needs. Katzman Lampert & Stoll provides unparalleled expertise in aviation litigation and aeronautical technology. Our Partners, skilled as both licensed pilots and seasoned investigators, are also accomplished lawyers who have represented victims and their families in aircraft accident lawsuits for over five decades. With their dual roles as aviators and legal professionals, the aviation attorneys at Katzman Lampert & Stoll are dedicated to assisting individuals seeking guidance for legal claims involving personal injury and wrongful death stemming from both general and commercial aviation incidents, throughout Pennsylvania, from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, and beyond.

I'm in the military. Can I still pursue a claim?

Military personnel have the right to seek compensation from government contractors for flawed design and upkeep of equipment. The FERES DOCTRINE is widely recognized, establishing that the United States enjoys sovereign immunity from lawsuits filed by service members. Less commonly understood, however, is that military members can pursue claims against contractors for faulty design or maintenance of military aircraft. Our firm has effectively advocated for military clients and their families, securing more than $35 million in recoveries over the past decade alone.

How long will I be involved in litigation?

The attorneys at Katzman Lampert & Stoll strive tirelessly to advance the litigation process as swiftly as possible for our clients, while never sacrificing the excellence of our work for speed. Cases tied to general aviation incidents typically span one to three years to resolve, whereas claims stemming from commercial airline disasters—such as the TWA Flight 800 catastrophe or the US Air 427 crash—may take anywhere from six months to five years to conclude. Throughout the journey, we ensure you remain fully updated on your case’s developments.

Where will my case be filed?

Filing a plane crash lawsuit demands a thorough evaluation of multiple elements to pinpoint the most advantageous city and state for each case. These elements vary depending on the individual client and the specifics of their situation. Our analysis includes considerations like:

the characteristics and tendencies of potential jurors in a given region
the legal framework and any limits on damages in a specific state
the proximity of key witnesses, and
the potential to secure the widest array of compensation for the unique injuries our clients have endured.

With fully-staffed offices in Michigan (Detroit), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), and Colorado (Denver), supported by our own fleet of corporate aircraft, the attorneys at Katzman Lampert & Stoll passionately advocate for clients regardless of where their case unfolds.

What is my role in the litigation process?

Our attorneys actively promote client participation and dedicate themselves to ensuring that clients fully grasp their legal rights. While some individuals prefer a hands-on role and others take a step back, there are key moments in a plane crash case where your engagement becomes critical if you opt to move forward. We are devoted to providing you with the guidance and support you need at every stage of aviation accident litigation.
