Chicago Aviation Accident Lawyer
According to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Transportation Safety Board report, in 2010 there were 1,500 civil aviation accidents in the United States. Civil aviation is defined as all non-military aircraft including both commercial and private air travel. Our law firm represents clients in the Chicago area and throughout Illinois who have suffered personal injuries or lost loved ones in a private or commercial plane accident or helicopter accident.
As with other types of transportation accidents, there may be many different factors surrounding an airline accident which can contribute to its cause. Some of these factors include:
- Faulty Equipment
- FAA Regulation Violations
- Pilot Errors
- Problems in the Design or Structure of an Aircraft
- Flight Service Station Employee Negligence
- Negligence in a Third Party Selection of a Carrier
- Federal Air Traffic Controller Negligence

Testimonials
Not only were they so professional but also so caring and thoughtful. It was very difficult going over the facts in our mother's case but they were so compassionate and understanding and allowed us to be with them every step of the way. We were able to sit in on the depositions and we were really able to see how hard they worked on our behalf.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Perconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude.
They were most patient and responded timely to many questions throughout the entire process. All demonstrated professionalism and extensive knowledge of case and state laws. Their in-depth investigative work uncovered details which were unknown to us and yet sadly confirmed our suspicions. We would recommend the Levin and Perconti Law firm and especially this team.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Peconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude. My family and I will always be grateful for the compassion that they showed us. I want to thank you for what you did for my family, and for always being there for us.
Margaret’s representation, guidance, and professionalism gave us the sense that we could put our trust in Levin & Perconti and the final outcome proved that to be true.
