Primary narrative

How we build your case.

Boeing and Airbus aircraft failure cases

JWJ's Atlanta airplane accident lawyers have experience with airplane crashes caused by mechanical failures on Boeing and Airbus commercial aircraft. These are product liability cases governed by the laws that apply to product liability.

The law office of Jonathan W. Johnson, LLC understands that the tragedy of a plane crash can leave individuals with severe PTSD, anxiety, and mental illness. If you or a loved one have been injured or affected on a Boeing or Airbus airplane, JWJ can help you get compensated for these overwhelming situations.

International aviation accidents

International air travel has become cheaper than ever before, and as a result, international flights have increased exponentially in recent years. Unfortunately, when tragedy strikes on an international flight, passengers and their loved ones are left with a daunting journey to compensation.

Although every airplane accident claim is complicated, international crashes and incidents require an even more in-depth knowledge base. International aviation cases have to take into consideration many different factors such as global treaties and evaluation of a broader range of jurisdictions to determine where to try the case.

Commercial aviation accidents

Commercial aviation accident cases are unique because it is usually easy to establish liability for the accident. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) generally conducts an extensive investigation immediately after any such crash to determine its cause.

JWJ believes that in this situation, the vast majority of any recovery should go to the victims' families rather than to pay attorneys. The job in those cases is primarily to deal with the damages issues, which are unique to each client.

General aviation and private aircraft accidents

JWJ has also handled numerous aviation accident cases involving private aircraft. Common causes for these types of accidents include pilot error, manufacturing defects of the plane, and violation of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) regulations.

JWJ's considerable expertise in this area enables thorough investigation of your case, gathering all critical items of evidence and consulting the most qualified experts to help you and your family obtain the recovery you deserve.

Aviation accident litigation experience

As a plaintiff's attorney and defense attorney, Mr. Johnson has been involved in litigation of many well-known commercial and private aviation accident cases, including Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, Southwest Airlines Flight 1380, Pan Am 103 (Lockerbie bombing), TWA Flight 800, ValuJet Flight 592, and numerous private aircraft and helicopter accidents.
