What are the common causes of general aviation accidents?

General aviation accidents - which encompass noncommercial flights - may result from various causes. Here are the more likely causes:

  • Pilot Error
  • Mechanical Failure
  • Weather Conditions
  • Runway Incursions
  • Bird Strikes

 

What injuries might I sustain as the result of a general aviation accident?

Due to their rapid speeds, small aircraft often lack reliable protection structures which could result in serious injuries. Common injuries are:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Burns
  • Broken Bones
  • Internal Injuries

 

Who is liable in a general aviation accident?

To determine liability in general aviation accidents, multiple factors need to be evaluated, including:

  • Pilot negligence or error.
  • Manufacturer defects on aircraft or components.
  • Mechanical issues typically stem from improper maintenance practices.
  • Miscommunication or errors in air traffic control.

 

Why hiring a personal injury attorney is beneficial?

  • Expertise: Personal injury attorneys have in-depth knowledge of aviation laws and regulations.
  • Investigation: Attorneys use experts to conduct comprehensive investigations that gather evidence for strong cases.
  • Negotiation: Experienced attorneys work to secure fair compensation from insurance providers or third parties.

 

When should an attorney be hired?

As soon as an accident happens, legal assistance should be sought immediately to collect evidence and advise victims on how best to deal with insurance companies or any other parties involved - so they don't compromise their case.

 

What criteria must be utilized when selecting an effective attorney?

  • Experience: Search for a personal injury attorney with extensive knowledge in aviation law and an impressive track record.
  • Resources: Choose an attorney with access to resources that may be required for optimal representation and investigation.
  • Communication: Look for an attorney who provides updates about their cases regularly.
