Aviation Related Injuries and Death

Aviation Accident and Disaster Lawyer

It’s true. Flying in a plane is safer than riding in a car. It’s also safer than taking a train or going on a cruise ship, per person carried. However, aviation related injuries still do occur. Airplane crashes are tragic and devastating for all involved. Many sources can serve as the cause of airplane disaster – unexpected weather conditions, mechanical failure, and navigational failure or neglect to name a few. Examples of mechanical failure may include poor maintenance, aircraft defects, fuel defects, and electrical malfunctions. Navigational failure can also come in many forms, such as radar errors, especially those from Terminal Radar Approach Control facilities or TRACONs. Pilot negligence, intoxication for instance, may also be the cause of a tragic aviation related accident.

While commercial airlines often have high levels of professionalism and maintenance standards, passengers of privately owned and operated airplanes are susceptible to a greater risk of injury. Published statistics maintain that private aircraft pilots are involved in a large amount of airplane related deaths and injuries. These statistics are attributed to a disparity in pilot experience, equipment and maintenance quality and regulations, and information regarding flying and airport conditions.

Aviation related injuries may not only be sustained in an airplane crash. Passengers may be injured by improperly maintained entrance tunnels, wet floor surfaces, other sources of falls, food poisoning, luggage falling from overhead containers, and other dangerous conditions.
