Aviation Accidents

Injury Resulting from Aviation Accidents or Plane Crashes

An aviation accident can involve complex causes and requires an immediate and in-depth investigation in order to determine its cause.

Although a common cause of a plane crash is pilot error, other causes do occur. Negligent servicing and maintenance on the part of a fixed-base operator (FBO), defective aftermarket parts, and faulty air traffic control instructions can all contribute to a serious or even fatal plane wreck.

Even in a plane crash as relatively minor as a gear-up landing with no significant injuries, the FAA is likely to promptly conduct a formal investigation. However, the FAA's purpose is to discover the cause of the airplane crash, not to identify those that may be held responsible in a civil action. 

One of the advantages of having the Pasadena law firm of Ball & Roberts on your side in any case involving aviation is that one of our trial lawyers  is an instrument rated, complex airplane pilot with 25 years of aircraft experience #8211; as well as experience in aircraft litigation.

Contact us to learn more or schedule a consultation.

Some issues that must be addressed in a plane crash case include:

• Statute of repose (or statute of limitations) in cases of faulty manufacture, installation and maintenance of aftermarket parts and equipment
• Dangerous weather and instrument rated pilots
• Multiple injured passengers
• Insurance Issues
• Pilot competence

We can offer knowledge and experience to intelligently investigate each of these issues. We can handle cases involving U.S. citizens injured abroad or a foreign national hurt in the U.S.
