Aviation Accident Attorneys in Arizona
Traveling by air is one of the safest and quickest ways to get from here to there. However, on rare occasions, aviation accidents can occur. When aviation accidents occur, they can be extremely devastating, leading to extreme damages, legal complexities, severe injuries, and even death. Navigating the legal sphere after an aviation accident in Arizona (or elsewhere) can be a nightmare, especially considering the different laws that individual states have regarding personal injury and compensation. This is why it is vital to hire an experienced aviation accident attorney to help you with your case.
The Importance Of Representation In Aviation Cases
There are many reasons why victims of aviation accidents need an experienced attorney on their side. Aviation accidents cause a tricky situation due to several factors. Although aviation accidents are fairly uncommon, when they do happen they can lead to much larger losses. That makes aviation accident cases more expensive for insurance companies, which can make receiving proper compensation for individuals much more difficult.
Aviation accident cases are further complicated by the fact that flights can cross state borders, and due to different states having different laws regarding personal injury, there can be difficulties when deciding on jurisdiction. Having a qualified attorney can make this process much smoother and less stressful and can provide better support for you as an individual. Also, hiring an attorney that has experience with the federal courts and is licensed in the states where you were flying to and from and where the accident occurred is very helpful.
We at LeBaron & Jensen have extensive experience handling aviation accidents including commercial aviation accidents, helicopter crashes, and private aviation accidents. Our firm is passionate about fighting the good fight and helping innocent individuals get back on their feet after tragic situations created by aviation accidents.
Factors That Contribute To Aviation Accidents
In the event of an aviation accident, there can be many different potential causes and parties that can be held liable. Following are some of the most common factors that can contribute to an aviation accident:
- Pilot error: A common cause of aviation accidents is pilot error. Pilots are responsible for operating planes in a sensible and careful manner and for obtaining the proper training, licensing, and certifications prior to flying aircrafts. If a pilot operates a plane without these precautions or conducts flying the plane unsafely, then they could be held liable for an aviation accident.
- Communication issues: If there is a large communication issue between ground control and your pilot/co-pilot, there can be catastrophic results. If false information is relayed, it can result in a major accident. Also, ground control and the pilot should be on the lookout for bad, and potentially dangerous, weather.
- Poor maintenance: Sometimes, flights are delayed due to a need for maintenance. While this may seem annoying in the moment, keeping a plane’s maintenance up to date is crucial for a safe flight. If the plane malfunctions due to lack of repairs, the owner of the plane can be held liable for an accident.
- Defective design: The manufacturer of the aircraft can be held responsible for an aviation accident if it can be proven that the machine stopped working due to manufacturing issues and not maintenance problems.
Depending on the cause of the accident, the manufacturer, the owner and/or operator of the aircraft, and common carrier could be held liable for an aviation accident.

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
