Sacramento Aviation Accident Attorney
If you have suffered serious injury or lost a member of your family in an aviation accident or crash, you will benefit most from an attorney experienced and knowledgeable in the area of aviation law. An attorney can help you lessen the negative impact of your loss or injury, by obtaining justice through monetary compensation. Aviation accidents are complex legal matters that may fall under state, federal or international law. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, you will have only a limited period of time to file a claim for your injuries or a loved one’s wrongful death.
Expertise in Aviation
At Estey & Bomberger, longtime aviation accident attorney Donald Beck is a resident expert in aviation accident law. As both a pilot and an attorney, he has a unique understanding of airline safety and flight mechanics. He has represented parties in numerous aviation cases, and recovered a $13.8 million verdict in a single engine plane crash case.
Airline Disasters
Airline disasters, though rare, can result in mass destruction. Although aviation transportation is considered to be one of the safest modes of transportation, plane crashes and aviation accidents still happen. Although 2007 and 2008 passed with no single passenger death in a United States carrier crash, a new record, that record was not held for long in 2009. On February 12, 2009, Continental Airlines Colgan Air Flight 3407 crashed in Buffalo, New York, killing all 49 people on board and one person on the ground. The crash marked the first fatal crash of a commercial airliner since August 27, 2006. It serves as a reminder, that although air safety has removed, risks are still present.
Types of Aviation Accidents
Plane crashes are not the only type of aviation accident. Other types of aviation and aircraft accidents that may result in injury or death include:
- Helicopter accidents
- Hot-air balloon accidents
- Hang-Glider accidents
- Parachute accidents
- Small commuter plane crashes
Causes of Aviation Accidents
Aviation incidents and airline disasters may be attributable to one ore more causes, with one or more liable parties. Some causes of aviation accidents include:
- Air controller negligence
- Bird strike
- Engine failure
- Fuel tank explosions and fires
- Fuel contamination
- Aircraft hijackings
- Icing
- Instrument failure
- Improper/ negligent maintenance
- Improper / negligent loading of aircraft
- Mid-air collisions
- Pilot error / negligence
- Weather conditions
- Other third-party negligence
Statistically, about 80% of airline accidents occur shortly before, during, or shortly after takeoff or landing.
