Do You Require the Assistance of an Airplane Accident Attorney?

Aviation accidents are often overshadowed by other types of incidents in the United States, leading many to assume they are rare. However, those who have suffered injuries or lost family members in aviation accidents paint a different picture. In reality, aviation crashes and accidents occur, on average, nearly three out of every four days in this country, with even more incidents taking place on international flights.

Given the complexity and altitude involved in air travel, these accidents tend to be severe, resulting in injuries and fatalities. When faced with the aftermath of a plane crash, the most effective and efficient way to understand your legal options and seek financial compensation for your losses is to enlist the services of an experienced aviation accident attorney.

Common Causes of Aviation Accidents and Airplane Crashes

Aviation accidents typically fall into four general categories:

Loss of control
Controlled flight into terrain
Approach and landing
Automation

Injuries can occur on airplanes for a variety of reasons, including falling objects, narrow cabins that restrict movement, and turbulence. Cabin turbulence is believed to be the main cause of non-fatal injuries to passengers and flight attendants. Turbulence injuries often occur when airlines fail to provide adequate and timely warnings. Airplane accidents can occur due to improper pilot training, improper navigation under weather conditions, maintenance errors, defective equipment, etc.

Understanding Aviation Accident Cases

The term "aviation accident" describes any instance in which a person sustains serious injuries or loses their life on an aircraft between the time of boarding and disembarking, or when the aircraft goes missing. Exceptions to this definition include injuries or deaths resulting from self-infliction, actions by others, or natural causes. Flights where the aircraft sustains damage or malfunctions in a way that impacts its performance are also classified as accidents.
