Reno Air Show Accident Attorneys

Nevada Aviation Accident Lawyers

Annually, the National Championship Air Races draws thousands of fans each year to watch a variety of military and civilian planes race. On September 16, 2011, the pilot of the P-51 Mustang, identified as Jimmy Leeward lost control of his WWII plane and crashed into the grandstands killing himself and at least three others, and injuring many more. Those who have been the victims of this catastrophic aviation accident are entitled to compensation. In accidents like these, where the cost and length of recovery is great, it is highly recommended to seek legal representation to ensure you will be fully and fairly compensated for either your serious injury or a loved one’s wrongful death.

Investigation and Reconstruction

In this case where the cause of the accident is still uncertain, there are a number of parties who may be held accountable including: the pilot, flight crews, aircraft mechanics, owner of the aircraft, or even the race organizers. Victims of the National Championship Air Race accident deserve an explanation as well as complete compensation. At Estey Bomberger, our aviation accident attorneys will fully reconstruct the accident, working with leading engineers and aviation professionals to understand the cause of the accident and hold all the liable parties fully accountable.
