Aviation Accidents
Aviation accidents cost many lives each year and cause much injury and property damage. Plane accidents are exceptionally destructive, since many victims involved in these crashes are either killed or suffer serious, sometimes permanent, injury. Aircraft accidents can cause brain damage, serious burns, spinal cord injury, and many other serious personal injuries. Survivors of plane crashes often need reconstructive surgery, many months of rest and rehabilitation, and therapy. Survivors with permanent injury may be unable to return to work and may need to hire assistants and caregivers. If you or a loved on has been injured in an aircraft accident, you need to contact qualified Florida attorneys who can get you all the assistance you are entitled to under the law.
Although the crashes of commercial airline airplanes are most televised, airplane accidents can happen with various types of aircraft. Personal aircraft can fail as a result of defective products or parts. Commercial aircraft or chartered airplanes may cause accidents. Airplanes that are crashing or are breaking up in air can cause injury to those below. Helicopters and small aircraft used for tourism or special tours can crash and cause harm. Cargo plan crashes and commercial aircraft accidents can cost companies millions of dollars in lost profits and can damage personal property.
Studies have shown that the majority of aviation accidents occur on takeoff or during landing and the majority are caused by human negligence or by defects in the aircraft itself. This means that most crashes are, in fact, preventable. Many accidents involving aircraft are caused by preventable factors, such as:
- Faulty or Defective Equipment
- Violations of FAA Regulations
- Problems with the Design or Structure of an Aircraft
- Negligence of Flight Service Station Employees
- Negligence of a Carrier or Third Party Selection
- Federal Air Traffic Controller Negligence
If you have been inured by an accident, contact qualified Florida lawyers to help ensure that others do not fall victim to the same type of accident.
