Aviation Accidents in Colorado
Aviation accidents are one of the least common types of accidents that can occur, but when they do happen, they can cause catastrophic damage and pain to any person that is involved. Victims of aviation accidents experience all sorts of issues after an accident including pain, injuries, potential loss of friends and family, loss of wages, property damage, and large medical bills. The laws surrounding aviation accidents are different for every state, specifically regarding the compensation that can be recovered for injured individuals. Aviation accident attorneys are important because they can help individuals obtain the greatest amount of damages that they possibly can. Reach out to Lebaron & Jensen for Colorado aviation accident legal services.
Aviation Accidents Can Be Complicated
When aviation accidents occur, there can be many different parties involved including passengers, pilots, aviation companies, and multiple state governments. There can be multiple governments involved when flights cross state borders, which happens frequently. This can cause difficulties in determining which state government has authority, which is a large reason why victims of aviation accidents greatly benefit from an personal injury attorney’s experience.
Because aviation accidents often involve multiple jurisdictions, it’s important to find an attorney who has experience with federal courts, with the state governments that are involved with your claim, and who have licensing in both of these said states. We at LeBaron & Jensen are a good choice for aviation accident cases because we have experience and licensing in multiple states including Colorado. We are prepared to handle any sort of commercial aviation accidents, helicopter crashes, and private aviation accidents. When you hire our firm to represent you or provide you with legal advice.
Who Is Liable In An Aviation Accident?
There are several different people that can be held liable for an aviation accident, depending on the circumstance. There are several factors that can affect liability in an aviation accident case.
- Pilot error: One of the most common causes of aviation accidents is pilot error. Pilots are responsible for operating aircrafts in a safe manner and to be properly trained, licensed, and certified. If a pilot is missing his or her certifications or is flying unsafely, they may be to blame for an aviation accident.
- Ground control mishaps: Pilots and ground control need to maintain proper communication in order for the aircraft to fly properly with the right information. If wrong information is given or one party fails to communicate, this can result in an accident.
- Poor maintenance: In order for an aircraft to fly safely, it must be properly and regularly maintained. If equipment malfunctions as a result of a lack of maintenance, the owner of the plane can be held liable for negligence.
- Faulty design: If equipment or mechanical malfunctions occur as a result of faulty design, the manufacturer can be held liable for accidents resulting from parts not operating as they should or failing.
- Bad weather: No one can control the weather, but pilots do have a responsibility to follow proper procedures in the event of inclement weather. Ground control needs to communicate weather conditions, and pilots and aviation companies need to estimate the potential danger weather poses. Failure to do so can result in an aviation accident, which the pilot or the aviation company could be held liable for.
Regardless of the cause of the aviation accident, at least one person is liable, though it could be multiple parties sharing responsibility. With personal injury legal services, you can receive the compensation you deserve from any source that caused your injuries.

A settlement is always better than negotiating or fighting with difficult to read Pleadings. What is Chase's strategy? To get great results and stay out of court.

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
