Aviation Accidents

Alabama Aviation Accident Lawyers   Alabama Airplane Crash Lawyers   Alabama Plane Crash Lawyers

Aviation is known as the safest form of travel statistically, but when plane crashes occur they tend to be extremely serious. Aviation accidents typically involve tremendous speed and impact forces, much greater than in any car crash. However, while many aviation accidents include fatalities, non-fatal injuries are far more common than deaths. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), in 2010 there were 1,331 airplane crashes. Of those, 1,043 involved injuries but no fatalities. Only 221 of the plane crashes involved fatalities. Similarly, of the helicopter accidents that occurred in 2010, 106 involved injuries and 26 involved deaths.

 

Many of the injuries and deaths that occur in connection with aviation activities are preventable and occur solely because of someone's negligent or wanton conduct. The most common theories of recovery in aviation litigation include:

 

• Pilot or Crew Inexperience

• Pilot or Crew Error

• A Pilot Taking Unreasonable Risks

• Violation of FAA Safety Regulations

• Failure to Appropriately Monitor, Interpret or Avoid Dangerous Weather

• Design, Structural or Manufacturing Defects in the Aircraft

• Failure to Properly inspect, Service and Repair the Aircraft

• Failure to Fuel the Aircraft

• Negligence of Flight Service Station Employees

• Negligence of Federal Air Traffic Controllers

 

Because aviation law is extremely complex, especially with regard to determining liability, individuals who have been injured in an aviation accident should seek the legal counsel of an experienced aviation attorney with an in-depth understanding of the FAA's policies and procedures.

 

If you or a loved one have suffered a significant injury or death in connection with an aviation accident, please contact us for a confidential, no-cost, no-obligation legal consultation.
