Aviation-Related Injuries

Aviation-Related Injuries

Daily review of FAA preliminary accident data involving aircraft in the United States reveals a surprisingly high incident rate. These range from fatalities or injuries on light aircraft, commercial airlines, and even aircraft still on the ground. On average there are five accidents each day in the United States alone. If you are searching for an attorney to handle an injury that is the result of an aircraft in flight or on the ground, we invite you to call Hach & Rose to discuss your legal remedies. Mr. Hach is an FAA licensed pilot and aircraft owner, which gives him specialized knowledge and resources to quickly and expertly investigate the circumstances of your incident.

When an accident involving an aircraft occurs, there is almost always someone at fault. This can result from a manufacturer producing a defective product or component, or a maintenance facility error. The pilot can also be at fault for failing to conduct various procedures such as gathering en route weather information, determining weight and balance data, calculating fuel consumption, and inspecting the aircraft prior to flight. These and other scenarios can often result in serious injury or death.

Commercial airlines can also fail in their duty to provide a safe flight. From the moment a passenger boards an aircraft, the airline has a heightened duty to follow safety procedures, even before the aircraft leaves the gate. Many accidents can happen at this point that cause injury, such as improper release of autopilot or a maintenance vehicle crashing into the aircraft.

If you have been injured in a similar accident, on an airline or as a passenger in a small aircraft, you can rest assured that Hach & Rose has the specialized knowledge to successfully litigate your claim.
