Airplane Crashes and Airline Crashes

1. What are the causes of airplane crashes?

Although commercial airline travel is generally considered to be one of the safest methods of travel, tragedies can and do occur.

The causes of airplane crashes are many and may include:

    * Inadequate security, resulting in hijacking;
    * Equipment malfunction or failure;
    * Pilot error; or
    * Control tower error.

2. If I have, or someone I know has, been in an airplane crash, what should I do?

It is extremely important to have an experienced aviation attorney who has expertise in the handling and presentation of an airplane crash case.

It is critical not to do anything that might have a negative affect upon your case. An experienced attorney might advise you not to give any statements or sign any authorizations, so it is important to get the advice of an experienced attorney before you do something that could have a negative impact upon your case.

3. How do I go about getting experts to help me with my airplane crash case?

An attorney experienced in aviation cases will be able to suggest a team of experts that can range from doctors, to, depending upon your case, a private investigator, and economists to help develop your case.

4. Who will pay the expenses of hiring all of these experts?

In most cases, the law firm or attorneys will advance all costs and expenses of the case as they are incurred. Once the case is concluded, they would be reimbursed for their costs out of the recovery. In some states, even if there is no recovery, the client is still responsible for the costs and expenses of the case even though the client owes no legal fees. In other states, if there is no recovery, the client will owe nothing for the costs and expenses, which will be absorbed by the law firm or attorney.
