Types Of Aviation Accidents

While an airplane crash is rare, it’s often devastating when it occurs. Over the years, the legal team at Parker Waichman LLP has handled countless accident claims that involved the following types of aviation accidents:

• Military drone and aircraft crashes
• Sightseeing helicopter tour crashes
• Domestic commercial airline crashes
• Midair crashes and collisions
• Inflight turbulence injuries
• Aircraft colliding with structures or buildings
• International commercial airline crashes
• Charter or private airplane accidents
• Airport runway crashes or incidents

You may have been injured in the air or on the ground in an aircraft incident. An injured bystander may have a legal claim against the airline just as much as a passenger. If you are in this situation, the best option is to contact an experienced aviation accident attorney to fight for your right to fair compensation.

Whether your case involves a chartered flight, a commercial airline, a helicopter, or a private plane, the legal team at Parker Waichman LLP, can help you recover the compensation you deserve for the harm you have suffered.

Why Do Aviation Accidents Occur?

Determining the cause of an aviation accident is one of the most challenging aspects of the claims process. Unless your aviation accident attorney can prove liability, you cannot recover damages. Some of the most common causes of aviation accidents include:

• Pilot or co-pilot errors
• Communication errors
• Mechanical errors
• Adverse weather conditions
• Ground control errors
• Lack of pilot training or flight experience

Aviation Accident Investigation

At Parker Waichman LLP, our aviation accident lawyers can work with government agencies, including the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board, that investigate these types of accidents, to gain access to vital evidence, including:

• Training records for crew members and pilots
• Flight plans
• Videos and photos of the accident
• Voice recorders from the cockpit
• Training records for crew members and pilots
• Air traffic control records
• Records from the aircraft manufacturer regarding testing and design
• Aircraft maintenance and inspection records

Our legal team has the resources to work with experts who can analyze and reconstruct the accident, to determine how the accident occurred, why, and who should be held liable.
