Aviation Law and the FAA
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the agency responsible for the laws and regulations that govern non-military aviation. In the wake of an accident, the FAA, along with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will begin the complex process of investigating the incident in order to determine what exactly happened, how it was caused and what steps must be taken to prevent a similar incident from happening again. In the aftermath of an aviation accident, it is imperative that you contact an experienced airplane crash attorney as soon as possible. The complex nature of aviation law requires expert attention. The experienced plane crash lawyers at Fitts Zehl will guide you every step of the way.
Common Causes of Airplane Crashes
At Fitts Zehl, we understand the complex nature of modern aircraft as well as the inherent difficulty in maneuvering large numbers of them. While the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have done a great deal in their efforts to lower accident rates, there will inevitably be the occasional tragedy involving a private or commercial aircraft. These incidents can be caused by anything from simple pilot error to negligent maintenance or even a fundamental defect in the aircraft's design. Our experienced airplane crash lawyers will help you identify each and every potential cause of the accident. Some common causes of airplane crashes include:
Design Defects: When an aircraft, or one of its component parts, is unable to withstand the normal stresses of flight including take off, landing and air turbulence due to an inherent design flaw, resulting in a crash.
Negligent Maintenance: When a maintenance team, perhaps in an effort to save money and keep planes flying, fails to properly inspect, service or repair an aircraft resulting in an accident.
Pilot/Crew Error: When the pilot or a member of the crew negligently causes an accident.
Air Traffic Control Negligence: When the air traffic controller negligently causes a collision or an accident.
Airline Irresponsibility: When an airline negligently disregards the safety of its passengers and crews in order to focus on maximizing profit. If an airline or pilot chooses to pursue an unsafe course of action in the name of cutting costs, our trial lawyers will devote whatever time and resources are necessary to holding the proper parties responsible.
