Tylka Law Firm - Premier Attorneys for Aviation Accident Claims
When catastrophic aviation accidents devastate lives across Texas – from private jet crashes near Houston’s busy airspace to helicopter accidents serving Gulf of Mexico oil platforms off Galveston’s coast – surviving victims and grieving families face extraordinarily complex federal aviation laws, multiple liable parties, and intricate insurance coverage disputes that demand experienced legal representation with deep understanding of both aviation regulations and catastrophic injury litigation. Tylka Law Firm has established itself as Texas’s leading aviation accident law firm, representing clients injured or killed in devastating aircraft crashes involving chartered jets, private planes, commercial helicopters, and other aircraft throughout the Houston metropolitan area, Galveston County, and across Texas’s extensive aviation network. Our experienced Texas aviation accident attorneys understand that airplane and helicopter crash cases require comprehensive investigation of pilot training records, aircraft maintenance logs, weather conditions, air traffic control communications, and federal safety violations that ordinary personal injury lawyers lack the technical expertise to pursue effectively against well-defended aviation companies and their specialized insurance carriers.
The Greater Houston area serves as one of America’s busiest aviation hubs, with hundreds of daily flights operating from major airports while the region’s extensive oil and gas industry generates substantial chartered jet and helicopter traffic serving offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, creating heightened risks for aviation accidents throughout the Houston Ship Channel area, Galveston Bay, and surrounding coastal regions where weather conditions and heavy air traffic contribute to preventable crashes. Tylka Law Firm’s Houston aviation accident lawyers possess intimate knowledge of local aviation hazards including the dangerous wind patterns affecting aircraft approaching Houston’s airports during severe weather, the unique challenges facing helicopter operations serving oil rigs visible from Galveston’s Seawall Boulevard, and the complex airspace management issues surrounding flights near the Texas Medical Center’s helicopter landing pads and downtown Houston’s skyscrapers where restricted flight paths create additional collision risks for chartered aircraft and private jets.

Tylka Law Firm handles all Aviation Accident Claims
From Helicopters and Private Jets to Commercial Airline Claims
Texas aviation accident law involves multiple overlapping jurisdictions including Federal Aviation Administration regulations, National Transportation Safety Board investigations, international aviation treaties for foreign-registered aircraft, and state premises liability laws governing airport operations – creating complex legal challenges that require immediate preservation of flight data recorders, cockpit voice recordings, radar tracking information, and witness testimony that inexperienced attorneys frequently fail to secure before crucial evidence is destroyed or becomes unavailable. Tylka Law Firm’s comprehensive approach to aviation accident cases includes coordination with leading accident reconstruction experts, consultation with former FAA investigators and airline pilots, thorough analysis of aircraft maintenance records and pilot certification history, detailed investigation of weather conditions and air traffic control communications, and aggressive pursuit of all potentially liable parties including aircraft manufacturers, maintenance companies, charter operators, and negligent pilots or air traffic controllers whose errors contributed to devastating crashes.
The catastrophic nature of aviation accidents – often resulting in multiple fatalities, severe burn injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and other life-threatening conditions that require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation – demands experienced legal representation that understands the unique damages available in Texas aviation accident cases, including substantial pain and suffering awards, lost earning capacity calculations for high-income professionals who frequently charter private aircraft, medical expenses that can exceed millions of dollars, and wrongful death damages that account for the extraordinary financial losses families suffer when aviation accidents claim successful business executives and professionals. Tylka Law Firm’s proven track record includes securing multi-million dollar settlements and jury verdicts for aviation accident clients throughout Texas, from families who lost loved ones in a chartered jet crash near Houston’s energy corridor to offshore workers who survived a helicopter crash while traveling to Gulf of Mexico oil platforms, demonstrating our legal team’s ability to hold negligent aviation companies accountable for the most devastating aircraft accidents.

When Should You Hire a Texas Aviation Accident Claims Lawyer?
While not every injury requires a lawyer, there are circumstances where having an attorney on your side can make all the difference. You should consider hiring a personal injury attorney if:- You’ve sustained significant injuries that require medical attention or long-term care.
- The accident involves injury parties or complex liability issues.
- The insurance company or worker’s compensation is offering a low settlement or denying your claim.
- There is a dispute about fault, and you need legal representation to protect your interests.
Q: How does a workers' compensation lawsuit differ from a personal injury lawsuit?
- Workers’ compensation provides benefits regardless of fault but limits compensation to medical expenses and partial wage replacement
- Personal injury lawsuits require proving negligence but offer compensation for all damages including pain and suffering, full lost wages, and punitive damages
- Workers’ compensation prevents suing your employer but allows claims against third parties responsible for workplace accidents
- Tylka Law Firm evaluates each case to pursue both workers’ compensation and viable third-party claims when possible
Q: What compensation can I recover from a workplace injury in Texas?
- Medical expenses (past and future) related to your workplace injury

- Rehabilitation costs including physical therapy and vocational retraining
- Pain and suffering damages (in third-party claims)
- Permanent disability and disfigurement compensation
- Death benefits for families who have lost loved ones in workplace accidents
Q: What should I do immediately after an accident in Texas?
- Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor—some serious conditions like traumatic brain injuries or internal bleeding may not show symptoms right away
- Call 911 to report the accident and ensure police create an official report
- Document the scene with photos of vehicle damage, property damage, road conditions, and any visible injuries
- Collect contact information from all parties involved, witnesses, and responding officers
- Avoid discussing fault or making statements to insurance companies beyond basic factual information
- Keep detailed records of all medical treatment, missed work, and expenses related to the accident
- Contact Tylka Law Firm as soon as possible to protect your rights—evidence can disappear quickly and insurance companies will begin working immediately to minimize your claim
Q: How long do I have to file a workplace injury claim in Texas?
- Workers’ compensation claims must typically be reported within 30 days of injury
- Written claims must be filed within one year of the injury date
- Personal injury lawsuits against third parties generally have a two-year statute of limitations
- Failure to meet these deadlines typically results in losing your right to compensation
- Consulting Tylka Law Firm immediately after injury ensures all deadlines are met
Q: Why do I need an attorney for my workers' compensation or personal injury claim?
- Studies show represented workers receive significantly higher settlements
- Insurance companies frequently deny valid claims or terminate benefits prematurely
- Complex paperwork and procedural requirements create pitfalls for unrepresented workers
- Tylka Law Firm identifies additional compensation sources beyond workers’ compensation
- We prevent employer retaliation and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process
Q: How does Tylka Law Firm get paid for workplace injury cases?
