Riverside Airline Accident Attorney

Because of the fast speed and high elevation that airplanes travel, aviation accidents are considered to be unforgiving, often causing death or catastrophic injury to passengers. If you have been injured or lost a loved one as a result of a plane crash or helicopter crash, you may be entitled to substantial compensation from the party responsible for your loss. We can help you pursue a claim and recover maximum compensation from the airline or other party responsible for your injury or the wrongful death of a loved one. Depending on the location of the accident and other factors, litigation for airline accident may be subject to state, federal or international law. Attorneys at Estey & Bomberger, LLP can determine the jurisdiction applicable to your airplane crash cases. 

Causes of Airline Accidents

Although airplanes are considered to be a safe mode of transportation, many lives are lost in airplane accidents each year. For as long as there have been airplanes, there have been airplane accidents, collisions and crashes.  The causes of aviation incidents vary greatly, and many factors can influence a plane crash or helicopter accident. Some plane crashes are caused by in-air collisions with other planes or birds; others are caused by factors within the pilot's control. Aviation accidents and plane crashes may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to:

• Air traffic controller error or negligence
• Bird strikes
• Defective airline equipment
• Defective plane design
• Electrical malfunction
• Engine failure
• FAA regulation violations
• Leaking Fuel
• Mismanagement of fuel
• Negligence of a third party
• Pilot error
• Poor weather

Airline Accident Injuries

Airline accidents, especially those occurring in flight, often result in death. If a passenger or pilot is fortunate to survive an airplane crash, they may sustain permanently life changing catastrophic injuries, including burn injuries, brain injuries, head injuries or spinal cord injuries.
