In a Las Vegas helicopter crash case, you can either pursue a settlement or litigation. Proving the claim at the settlement table with a helicopter crash often is not that much easier than doing it in court. It is possible you could need to file a lawsuit to motivate the defense to negotiate with you at all.
Although investigating a helicopter crash to pursue a legal claim can be very expensive, keep in mind that your attorney may be willing to take a contingency fee, which means you do not pay unless you win. Also, verdicts and settlements in a helicopter crash case often is large because of the typically catastrophic types of injuries that are involved in these accidents.
There also has been a rise in medical helicopter and air ambulance crashes in recent years. There has further been an increase in the number of for-profit air ambulances, and this is raising considerable safety concerns. There are no rules for Medicare reimbursements on these flights, so it is common that using cheaper older helicopters, reducing maintenance costs, and reducing crew training can make this type of flight more profitable for hospitals. Corporate greed in this area of aviation can lead to more helicopter accidents.
