Causes of Aviation/Airline Accidents

As the victim of an airplane tragedy, the first thing you want to know is what caused the accident. When you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one in an aviation accident, you want to know if it could it have been prevented, and what are your rights. At the Huntsville airplane accident law firm of Ferguson & Ferguson, it’s our goal to find you the answers you need, and ultimately maximize your financial recovery. That’s why our Huntsville aviation accident lawyers approach every case as if it’s going to trial. We work hard to ensure our clients’ rights are protected and the people responsible are held accountable. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), air travel is expected to double over the next 20 years. As air traffic increases so does the risk of an aviation accident. Generally, air traffic is considered to be a safe means of transportation, but when accidents do occur they often result in fatalities. In 2009, there were 1,474 civil aviation accidents in the United States resulting in 272 fatalities. There are number of factors that could lead to or cause an aviation/airline accident. Aviation accidents can be caused by:

• Malfunctioning, defective, or faulty equipment
• Poorly maintained equipment
• Engine failure
• Fuel tank explosions
• Mechanical error
• Electrical failure
• Pilot negligence or error
• Airline negligence or error
• Ground crashes
• Wake turbulence
• Runway accidents
• Dangerous weather conditions
• Negligent fueling operations

In the aftermath of an airplane accident, one of the critical issues for those left behind is to find out what happened. Large commercial airlines have black boxes that record everything that happened during the flight. However, most accidents involve small, general aviation aircraft that do not have block boxes. In these cases, only painstaking investigation can find out what caused the accident and who or what was at fault. Airline crashes are always highly traumatic, and frequently leave family members confused, stunned, and overwhelmed. We understand that the aftermath of an airline crash is a very difficult time for the victims and their families, and that’s why we are committed to helping you receive the financial compensation you need to move forward after such a tragic event. In flight accidents and airplane crashes are subject to a wide range of laws, treaties, and regulations, and it takes dedicated, experienced counsel to successfully bring a case. If you are looking for help, you don’t have to look any further.
