Investigating Airplane Accidents

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is responsible for the investigation of all aviation accidents. These aviation accidents include U.S. air carrier accidents, commuter and air taxi crashes, mid-air collisions, serious mishaps involving public use (government) aircraft, helicopter crashes, and all fatal general aviation accidents. Some non-fatal airplane crashes may be investigated by the NTSB if they involve the serious injury of a person or substantial damage to an aircraft.

The NTSB is responsible for determining the probable cause of airplane accidents. However, they do not determine liability and not all information used to determine the probable cause of an aviation accident can be used in civil litigation. Therefore it is important to hire an experienced aviation accident attorney.

Representing Families and Victims of Aviation Accidents

Our firm has a comprehensive understanding of Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules that govern commercial, charter, and private aviation including all operations under Part 135 and Part 91. Additionally, our firm has experience dealing with the extensive documentation production necessary to establish liability for airplane crashes beyond the NTSB’s probable cause findings.

There are two main causes of airplane crashes and a host of factors that contribute to each. The main factors can include pilot error and poor maintenance. Some of the contributing factors related to pilot error can include training and poor judgment in bad weather. Contributing factors related to maintenance can include the failure to abide by Airworthy Directives (AD), and improper annual inspections.
