Airplanes are required to have all necessary equipment to keep passengers safe as they transport them to their destinations. Airplane workers are also required to have a reasonable degree of skill to protect passengers from injury. When workers fail to uphold these safety standards, accidents can occur while boarding, traveling, or exiting an aircraft.

At THE LAW OFFICES OF JUSTIN G. MORGAN, P.A. we handle both airplane crash cases and slip and fall accidents on airplanes. Conditions that can lead to injuries inside an aircraft include:

• Dangerous conditions inside the aircraft • Careless handling of the aircraft • Severe turbulence • Negligent actions by incompetent flight staffFortunately, airplane crashes are rare, but when they

occur they are generally catastrophic in nature and cause severe injury, and in some cases death. If you have lost a loved one in an airplane accident or have been injured while aboard an aircraft, THE LAW OFFICES OF JUSTIN G. MORGAN, P.A. can assist you in getting the compensation you are entitled to.

AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS AND CRASHES

JURY TRIAL VICTORYTHE LAW OFFICES OF JUSTIN G. MORGAN, P.A. represented a doctor’s office for payment of medical

bills denied by an automobile insurance company as not being reasonable or related to the automobile accident.

While not all cases result in a lawsuit being filed, the automobile insurance company adamantly refused to pay in this case. Many times insurance companies will deny coverage for as long as possible, hoping that the injured parties will not pursue their claim. In order to proceed and receive the protection that the doctor’s office was entitled to, THE LAW OFFICES OF JUSTIN G. MORGAN, P.A. filed a lawsuit and brought the case to trial.

After a three day jury trial, the jury came back in less than 45 minutes, and awarded 100 percent of the sought insurance benefits to the doctor’s office. The insurance company was also ordered to pay to the doctor’s office all the reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred. The insurance company settled this portion and paid fees and costs of approximately $88,000.00.

MORGAN, P.A. at our toll-free number 1-800-9-JUSTIN. Attorney Justin G.
