Aviation Accidents
Aviation statistically is among the safest forms of travel. However, when accidents do occur, the outcome can be devastating. In Florida, there were 123 airplane accidents statewide in 2007. Of those, 22 resulted in 39 fatalities. That number of accidents involving aircraft in Florida is up from 106 crashes the prior year, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Internationally, 1,115 people were killed in 130 aviation accidents in 2010.
Aviation and airplane accidents require attorneys skilled in aviation personal injury law who can help establish cause, contributing factors and negligence. Among the things that can lead to accidents are air traffic control error or pilot error, cargo hold/cabin fires, design flaws, insufficient fuel or fuel starvation, lightning strikes, pilot incapacitation, weather issues, insufficient or improper training, and airport staff and mechanic negligence.
