I was Injured in a Plan Accident—Can I File a Personal Injury Suit?
If you were injured in a plane accident due to someone else's negligence, you're probably eligible to file a personal injury suit against the negligent pilot.
The majority of aviation experts agree that human error or negligence is the most common cause of plane accidents. Some common causes for plane accidents are:
- Weather. Pilots who get caught in inclement conditions like thunder or ice storms—especially novice pilots—may make critical errors that harm other passengers in the plane or result in a crash, injuring civilians on the ground.
- CFIT. CFIT stands for "controlled flight into terrain." When pilots have low visibility due to clouds or fog, they'll sometimes accidentally crash into terrain.
- Failing to perform the proper preflight procedures. Some pilots may overlook mechanical failures, either due to negligence, or because they want to get in the air more quickly.
- Overestimating the capabilities of a plane. Some pilots, particularly inexperienced ones, may overestimate the capabilities of their craft. Unfortunately, the end result is often an accident or a loss of control, both of which can injure passengers and bystanders.
If you're hurt in a plane accident due to a pilot's negligence, you should immediately get in touch with a personal injury lawyer near you. A personal injury lawyer can help you build a strong case and take the necessary steps to get the compensation you deserve for your injuries and resulting expenses.
