Airplane
crashes are relatively rare when compared to
accidents involving other modes of transportation.
Of course, airplane accidents have catastrophic
consequences, including injury and death to
passengers. An aviation accident case can occur on the runway, as many of the aviation accident do, due to air traffic control and other miscommunication problems.
There are also several potential defendants to
choose from, including pilots, owner, manufacturer, maintenance supplier
or even the federal government.
In a majority of cases, airplane crashes are are
result of negligence -- i.e., human error and/or
mechanical failure. Because plane crashes are
often the most difficult to dissect, the United
States government has designated the National
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to investigate aviation accidents.
Together with the FAA, the NTSB attempts to
understand what may have contributed to the airplane
accident happening. The most common causes
airplane accidents include: pilot error; faulty equipment;
violations of FAA regulations; structural or design
errors; Flight Service Station employee negligence
and air traffic controller negligence.
Aviation litigation is complex; it requires
knowledge of FAA regulations and aircraft function
and safety and involves numerous potential theories
of liability under state, federal, and international
law. There are a number of different courts in which
a trial may take place; because jurisdictions differ
on damage limitations and proof requirements,
jurisdiction selection may be critical. As you
