    See how we helped Dave secure $860,000 after his helicopter incident.

    June 23, 2024 Return to case studies

    Dave’s* accident happened in very unique circumstances where he was a passenger involved in a helicopter crash.

    Dave was self employed as a plumber and after suffering serious injuries including spinal fractures and chemical burns, he was unable to return to work. The financial worry caused him to seek legal advice from the team at Trilby Misso Lawyers.

    Given the unique circumstances of the helicopter accident the legal team had to examine the cause of the accident, whether that be mechanical or pilot error. Careful examination of the helicopter accident, available evidence, and industry standards/protocols, revealed it was a pilot error and the compensation claim was pursued on that basis.

    Dave being self employed also required the team to look carefully at his business records to gather evidence to support his claim for lost earnings.

    This careful case preparation saw Dave secure a settlement of $860,000 which gave him some financial security to ease his worries.
