Lafayette, Louisiana, Helicopter & Aviation Accident Lawyer
In Louisiana, people ride in helicopters around the gulf for pleasure or to reach an off-shore worksite. While these aircraft are generally known for their safety, poor helicopter design, defective parts, inclement weather, contact with flocks of birds or pilot negligence can cause the aircraft to crash. These issues can all result in serious injury. If you were injured while working on or flying in a helicopter, you should discuss your case with an experienced personal injury lawyer.
