Types of Commercial Airliner Accidents

While we tend to think of the worst-case scenario when it comes to commercial airplane accidents—crashes—these incidents actually involve all types of minor and major accidents. Often, people are injured on commercial airplanes outside of devastating crashes, but the impact is no less severe.

Commercial airliner accidents affect thousands of passengers every year. Unfortunately, many of these incidents lead to catastrophic injuries—including burn injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries—as well as fatalities. Equipment failures caused by inadequate maintenance and defective design, pilot error, and air traffic controller error are some of the contributing factors to commercial aviation accidents. In such cases, the liable parties can be held accountable for damages.

What Makes Commercial Aircraft Accidents So Complex?

Commercial airliner accidents are more complex than other types of personal injury claims for several reasons. Commercial airline accidents involve complex federal laws, technicalities related to the manufacture and operational components of an aircraft, and the many parties that may become involved in a lawsuit.

First and foremost is the issue of liability. While an individual party, such as a pilot or parts manufacturer, may have caused the incident, there may be multiple liable parties. The entity that employs a negligent pilot may be held accountable if that company failed to conduct proper background checks, failed to ensure adequate training, or was otherwise negligent. The person who failed to conduct routine aircraft maintenance could be liable, but so could the entity that oversees that individual.

Proving negligence and liability in commercial airliner accident claims is difficult and typically involves the participation of various experts, from accident reconstruction specialists to experts in the field of aviation. When you trust your case to LaMarca Law Group, P.C., you can rest assured that our Des Moines commercial airline accident attorneys will thoroughly investigate the crash or other aviation incident to identify every responsible party.
