Helicopter crashes are high profile accidents because of their devastating nature. Helicopters were not designed to crash. When they do, the occupants are usually killed or suffer catastrophic injuries, like paralysis and burn trauma. Medical bills will exceed tens of thousands of dollars, and may even rise into the millions.
It is important to get a helicopter crash lawyer involved immediately to ensure evidence is properly preserved and analyzed. Many witnesses and participants will need to be interviewed, and potentially testimony preserved.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), local authorities, and various insurance companies will all be involved. These investigations are expensive, confusing, and lengthy.
Gage Mathers will help you and your family navigate the investigation process. We will also begin our own investigation to help determine the cause of the crash. Commonly these are pilot error or mechanical failure.

The steep, jagged cliffs in the Grand Canyon can cause sudden, unpredictable bursts of wind to occur. These bursts can be lethal because they are strong enough to knock a helicopter off its course.
Many restrictions apply to helicopter sightseeing tours in the Grand Canyon. Nonetheless, there are tours offered by unregulated tour companies that carry fly passengers around the park without violating FAA rules. Hundreds of tours are running a day in and around the Grand Canyon, so enforcement of rules and regulations is a struggle for the agency.
The lack of enforcement means dangerous conditions still exist for tourists who either don’t know any better or are misled by a tour company. Always check to see if a tour provider is certified as an FAA Part 135 Air Carrier and check the company for past accidents using the FAA Accident & Incident Data report or the NTSB’s Aviation Accident Database.
We are not suggesting you avoid these tours. They can awe-inspiring and lots of fun. Just like tours of Monument Valley and other parts of Arizona. Just make sure you have important information before booking a tour.
