Aviation / Plane Accidents
These kinds of accidents do not occur as frequently as other modes of transportation, however when an airline accident does take place it can result in absolute fatalities. Most people do not realize the frequency airline accidents do occur, however because only the accidents with fatalities are covered in the media. Airline accidents can occur on the runway, as many of the airline accidents do due to air traffic control and other miscommunication problems that can cause airline accidents.
Common reasons for Aviation Accidents include:
Pilot Intoxication
Small Plane Crash due to icing conditions
Maintenance Failure
Violating FAA Regulations
Structural Design Problems
Defective Plane Parts
Flight Employee Negligence
Aircraft Fueling Negligence
Aviation accidents have a high potential for death and injury due to the speed and height that planes travel at. Most aviation accidents are the result of human error and mechanical difficulties. In many instances, an airline accident has created so much damage that understanding how the airline accident happened can be difficult. The NTSB and FAA are in charge of investigating aviation accidents in order to understand what may have contributed to the aviation accident happening.
Even in seemingly minor airline accidents a passenger can experience
injuries in addition to emotional distress. Many airline
accidents could
have been easily prevented if the correct standards and
procedures were
followed and a personal injury attorney will seek appropriate
damages.
