Aviation LawAviation Law is about airplanes, people and pilots, and it also deals with legal concerns surrounding air travel and business related issues. Aviation law includes permits and licensing for construction and operation of airports and working with the Department of Transportation, DOT, and the Federal Aviation Administration, FAA. Aviation law can be considered a matter of international law at times, due to travel to foreign countries. Jim Wade is an experienced private pilot and understands the business and legal aspects of aviation law and federal regulation. Aviation matters, in most cases, are regulated by Federal law but some areas overlap so the laws of the State of Florida also apply. A skilled attorney knowledgeable in state and federal aviation laws, regulations and case law can help you with questions or concerns related to Aviation Law. Call WADELAW for assistance. Unfortunately, many aviation accidents, airplane crashes, and even an on the ground plane crash or runway incursion, are the results of negligence and result in catastrophic personal injury or wrongful death. Whether the negligent act was committed by a careless pilot, a tired air traffic controller or an inadequately trained mechanic or maintenance worker, an airplane crash is always serious. If you have questions regarding personal injury or wrongful death related to a crash or aviation law, call WADELAW – our motto is Overcoming the Hurdles of Life. |

Personal Injury
Personal injury refers to physical or emotional injury to the body, such as a broken bone, or a cut or bruise. Personal injury or bodily injury often results from car wrecks, truck crashes or other auto accidents, slip and fall cases, airplane crashes and physical assaults or attacks, as well as from negligent nursing home abuse and failure to follow the required standard of care.
Personal injury law is a form of civil litigation specifically known as Tort Law, and typically arises when someone has physical injuries resulting from the negligent act or acts of another party. A tort action is usually for the recovery of money for damages caused by a breach of a duty or a negligent act or omission. The most common types of personal injury include but are not limited to: nursing home abuse or neglect, medical malpractice, negligent tort, auto accidents, truck crashes, severe injury, slip and fall, premises liability, and Wrongful death. If negligence or neglect is proven, the injured party is entitled to compensation. The judicial court system and legal process regarding recovery for a personal injury is quite complex, so having an attorney is critical.

Nursing Home AbuseNursing home abuse and nursing home neglect are serious problems which attorney James E.

Abuse or neglect of our elderly residents and infirm citizens in nursing homes, NH’s, adult living facilities, ALF’s, or hospitals should not be tolerated.
