When a commercial plane crash occurs, it is almost inevitable that passengers will suffer catastrophic injuries, permanent disability or death.

HOW DO I FILE A LAWSUIT AFTER A COMMERCIAL PLANE CRASH?

Seeking compensation through a lawsuit can be difficult when a commercial airline is involved. Aircraft manufacturers, maintenance facilities, airline crew or other parties may all have contributed to your accident. It can take time to gather your evidence and make a claim. Usually, a lawsuit against a commercial airline takes a significant amount of time to prepare.

WHAT ARE COMMON COMMERCIAL AIRLINE ACCIDENT CAUSES?

Commercial airline accidents can originate from a wide variety of sources or parties. Errors by a pilot, defects in manufactured parts, faulty maintenance, and failures by an traffic controllers are all possible causes. Negligence by these professionals or manufacturers has resulted in engine failure, fuel leakage and malfunctioned components. If you or someone you love has been injured due to someone’s negligence, then you may be entitled to compensation. Most commercial airline accidents happen due to:

  • Pilot Error: Almost half of all plane crashes happen due to pilot error. Trained commercial airline pilots are expected to safely navigate the airplane both on the ground and in the air. If a pilot misjudges weather conditions, misreads mechanical instruments or performs incorrect maneuvers, then the airline may be liable for your accident.
  • Weather: Poor weather can reduce visibility or result in mechanical failure. An air traffic controller may misjudge conditions and put passengers at risk. Lightning, hail, high wind and heavy rain can strike a plane, creating the conditions in which accidents may happen. Even mild weather conditions, like fog, can cause a devastating accident.
  • Mechanical Failure: When components in an aircraft fail or break down, serious accidents can occur. Parts may be improperly designed as a result of negligence by a manufacturer. Airplanes also require regular and careful maintenance. If a part fails, the maintenance facility may have been negligent.
