Akron Plane Crash

Recent Akron, Ohio Small Plane Crash Has Boca Raton Connection

Devastating tragedy leaves loved ones with many questions and no answers

On November 10^th, a chartered jet carrying seven passengers and two pilots crashed in a residential neighborhood in Akron, Ohio. All nine onboard died in the crash. Fortunately, no one on the ground was injured despite the plane crashing into a four-unit apartment complex. The seven passengers on the jet were all employees of Pebb Enterprises, a family-owned Boca Raton commercial real estate company. Florida-based ExecuFlight operated the chartered Hawker 700 plane.

Following a tragedy such as this, family and friends are left wondering how something like this could happen. Unfortunately, answers are usually difficult to come by, and investigations are long and tedious. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigates all aviation accidents that occur in the United States. In 2013, there were a total of 1,298 civil aviation accidents across the country that caused 429 fatalities. This includes

Commercial cargo and passenger air carriers

Commuter and on-demand carriers

General aviation such as powered parachutes and light-sport aircraft

High-profile, commercial airline accidents tend to receive the most attention both from the media and investigators. Small aircraft accident investigations; however, require the same level of knowledge, skill and attention-to-detail to ensure that all facts and possible causes are analyzed.

It is still too early in the investigation to know exactly what transpired in the moments before the Akron plane crash or what may have caused this tragedy. Not knowing how or why these events occurred is often one of the most stressful and emotionally trying aspects of the experience for victims’ family members. During this time, there are often many confusing obstacles that may arise throughout the investigation. It is important to have a staunch advocate on your side to get the answers and results you deserve.

In many cases, it may be necessary to take extra steps to ensure that all aspects of the investigation are fully explored.

“Attorneys Greg Francis and Ryan Fletcher at Osborne & Francis Law Firm represented me in my personal injury case.The defendant drew a line in the sand and was adamant on a settlement amount I was almost willing to accept. After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, we settled for 3 times that amount!!! When they say ‘Real Tough Lawyers,’ they mean it.”

Dennis and the other Osborne & Francis staff were amazing! Our case was HUGE and required tender loving care. Everyone on our case did their part by putting all the puzzle pieces together. We were given step by step updates and put at ease when our nerves got the best of us. For every inquiry we made we received a timely response...You are appreciated!

“I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer/ firm — everything was done professionally exactly how I wanted. Due to COVID my personal attorney Mr. Garcia was still able to make things work in a timely manner and he never made me feel like he wasn’t working. Overall I’m happy with how my case turned out and I would recommend him and this law firm to anyone. 100% satisfied.”

“I am so thankful for EVERYONE, the entire staff at Osborne & Francis Law, for mentoring me through the mediation process with my hip replacement failures. I didn't realize how MUCH pressure they relieved me of by helping me deal with the reality of this traumatic time in my life, as it was OVER so quickly with a positive result. My family is grateful to have their mom HAPPY & FOCUSED on the future, rather than worrying over what happened in the past! FAST FORWARD, we are LIVING LIFE to the fullest once again!”

Quick and fair resolution to a unique case. On advice of my own attorney, I engaged Joseph Osborne of Osborne & Francis of Boca Raton, FL. Mr. Osborne had considerable experience in cases such as mine and the results showed that. Mr. Osborne and his staff were very helpful, kept me up to date, and listened to my input. The settlement was very fair as far as I am concerned.
