The most common causes of aviation accidents include:

• Human/Pilot error: Humans can cause aviation accidents through mistakes such as failure to follow proper take-off/landing procedures, premature descent, excessive landing speed, missed runways, failure to refuel, navigation mistakes, and making dangerous miscalculations.
• Equipment Malfunction: Many aviation accidents stem from equipment and mechanical failures, such as engine failure or structural design flaw. A parts manufacturer could be liable if the equipment had a defect, or the owner of the plane could be liable if the malfunction was due to negligence in maintenance.
• Bad Weather: Sometimes, a pilot or aviation company could be liable for failing to check the weather, underestimating the dangers, or failing to obey proper procedures in a storm or fog if these mistakes caused the injury.

Personal Injury Claims for Aviation Accidents

Victims of accidents or their families have the right to bring civil claims against at fault aviation manufacturers or aircraft companies for financial damages. Filing a personal injury or wrongful death claim for an aviation accident could result in substantial monetary damages for all past and future accident-related expenses such as:

• Medical costs
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Wrongful death damages
