At the Joseph Joy & Associates law firm in Lafayette, Louisiana, our lead attorney has worked on oil rigs and knows the risks of maritime jobs. Transferring crews and supplies offshore can be dangerous.

A helicopter lost tail rotor control and crash landed at an airport. The FAA had sent out warnings about the tail rotor spider bearing and the manufacturer knew of the danger. Both the helicopter operator and the manufacturer settled. Our law firm represented a passenger in the crash.

  • Improper maintenance and defective equipment can cause accidents. We have investigated accidents and represented victims in accidents caused by engine failure, component failure, rotor failure and improper maintenance (failing to take appropriate maintenance actions or failing to perform maintenance on schedule).
  • Pilot error and bad judgment can cause a helicopter accident. Did the pilot make the right decisions under the circumstances? Did the operator and pilot decide to fly despite weather warnings? Did the operator ensure that the pilot had proper certification?
