Industrial Aircraft Crash Lawyer

Industrial aircraft crash attorneys are very well-versed in the legal fields of aviation law, wrongful death and injury law, and product liability law. Industrial plane crashes and collisions are often complex matters legally; these incidents often involve multiple parties.

Industrial aircraft include (but aren't limited to) those used for:

  • executive travel (e.g., company jet or private jet)
  • commercial shipping cargo/freight (domestic or international flights)
  • agriculture (e.g., crop dusting)
  • ranching
  • government-owned planes and other aircraft
  • training aircraft
  • gathering weather data
  • "eye in the sky" traffic helicopters and planes

Industrial Plane Crash Lawyer

In addition, industrial aircraft is not limited to planes; the many industrial aircraft accidents have involved not only piloted planes (jet or prop planes) but unmanned drones, helicopters and balloons.

An "industrial plane crash lawyer" is cognizant of the laws and regulations regarding all types of industrial aircraft. Unfortunately, there have been many incidents resulting in death and injury in the industrial aircraft field, although these aircraft are subject to the same safety regulations from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and other agencies.

The sheer volume of flight time by industrial planes may be a major factor in the accident rate (think of how many flights are conducted by FedEx and the U.S. Post Office alone). In addition, it should be kept in mind that many industrial and commercial plane accidents do not occur while the plane is in flight; collisions on the ground occur with some frequency (take-offs and landings are particularly risky times, as is taxiing on the runway).

Airline Accident Legal Information

If you have been injured in an industrial plane accident, whether as a passenger, ground crew member, flight personnel (pilots, co-pilots, stewards and stewardesses), or as a bystander, you have legal rights that are best protected by a law firm with the requisite knowledge about both personal injury/wrongful death law and aviation law.

Aviation Facts

  • Approximately 80 percent of all plane crashes occur shortly before or after takeoff or landing due to human error or mechanical failures.
  • According to an aviation accident survey of nearly 2,200 plane crashes from 1950 to 2004, the number one cause of aviation accidents is pilot error, which results in 45 percent of accidents. Undetermined causes: 33 percent. Mechanical failure: 13 percent.
  • In 2005, there were a total of 1,764 aviation accidents in the United States that resulted in 600 fatalities. Low-level maneuvering of an aircraft was the leading cause of fatal aviation accidents from 1998 to 2004.
  • In 2004, more than 70 percent of all plane crashes that ended in serious injury or fatality occurred during a personal flight. General aviation accidents occur more frequently than airline or business aviation accidents.
  • The most recent statistics on midair collisions has shown a steady decline. In 2004, there were 10 midair accidents resulting in 10 fatalities compared to 11 collisions in 2003 with 23 deaths.
