Causes of Plane Crashes

Every plane crash is different with a unique set of circumstances. Plane crashes have many causes, and often are a combination of factors, including:

• Air traffic controller error or negligence
• Bird strikes
• Defective plane design
• Electrical malfunction
• Engine failure
• FAA regulation violations
• Fuel leaks
• Fuel mismanagement
• Mechanical failure
• Pilot error
• Other human error / third party negligence
• Sabotage
• Weather.

 Aviation accidents include all types of aircraft, from small experimental planes to commercial passenger jets, and helicopters and paragliders and everything in between. Types of accidents include runway accidents, take-off accidents, landing accidents, midair collisions, and accidents caused by weather, bird strike, pilot error and fuel mismanagement.

Investigating Aircraft Accidents

Aviation accidents are investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The NTSB is the organization that responds to the accident and forms a team of specialists in fields related to the probably cause of the accident. The NTSB will release a report on the most likely cause of the accident and may make safety recommendations to the FAA.

In all aviation accident cases, the attorneys at Estey & Bomberger work with independent aviation accident investigators to investigate all potential avenues of liability. Our attorneys can represent you in a claim against all parties responsible for your accident, including the airline, the pilot, the airport, aircraft manufacturer, aircraft maintenance companies and any other third party.

Airplane Accident Injuries

Although air travel is considered to be one of the safest transportation means, when accidents occur, they are very often catastrophic. There is a high probability of fatalities in any accident or collision. Victims that survive airplane accidents may be permanently disabled by serious injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, multiple broken bones and burn injuries.

Litigation involving Aviation Accidents

Aviation litigation may be governed by international, federal, state or even city or county laws. Every accident has a unique set of circumstances. Determining what laws apply involves a thorough investigation of the cause of the accident and the parties involved.

The amount of time you have varies depending on the accident. Contact the lawyers at Estey & Bomberger to determine your legal rights following an Oakland aviation accident.
