Aircraft Accidents and Aviation-Related Injuries

A daily review of FAA preliminary accident data involving aircraft in the United States reveals an incident rate greater than most of the general population would expect. Incidents ranging from fatalities involving passengers of light aircraft or people on the ground to injuries occurring on commercial aircraft even while parked at the gate are not rare. On average there are about five accidents each day in the United States alone. If you are searching for an attorney to handle an injury involving an aircraft whether while flying or while on the ground, we invite you to call the Law Firm of Hach & Rose. As an FAA licensed pilot and aircraft owner, Attorney Hach has the specialized knowledge and resources necessary to quickly and expertly investigate the circumstances surrounding your particular incident.

When an accident occurs involving aircraft, there is almost always someone with fault. Whether the manufacturer produced a defective product or component, a maintenance facility committed an error resulting in an accident, or the pilot failed to take proper precautionary measures like gathering en route weather information, determining weight & balance data, calculating fuel consumption or failed to properly inspect the aircraft prior to use. These along with countless other scenarios can often result in serious injury or even death.

Commercial airlines sometimes fail in their duty to provide a safe flight as well. From the moment you board that aircraft, the airlines are under a heightened duty to keep you safe, even while the aircraft is parked at the gate. In flight things can happen that may not result in a crash but in fact do cause injury. Perhaps an autopilot was improperly released or a maintenance vehicle crashes into the aircraft while parked at the gate.

If you were injured in such a manner, on an airline or as a passenger in a small aircraft, wouldn’t you feel comfortable knowing that your attorney has the specialized knowledge necessary to successfully litigate your claim? For a no pressure evaluation of your claim, simply click here.
