Types
of Aviation Disasters - Important information about
different types of aviation disasters Aviation accidents
occur in a variety of different situations with different kinds of
aircraft. The most common aviation accidents are those involving commercial
airlines, but many disasters also occur with private
airplanes, military aircraft,
commercial and private helicopters.
Causes
of Plane Crashes - Important information about the causes of plane
crashes There are many types of aviation accident legal claims
that may revolve around pilot error, manufacture
and maintenance, or unsafe flying/weather conditions. The leading
causes of commercial or “common carrier”
airline accidents include engine failures, controlled flight into
terrain, approach and landing, loss of control, runway incursions,
and weather (including turbulence). Private or "general"
aviation accidents find their causes in controlled flight into terrain,
weather, pilot decision-making, loss of control, and runway incursions.
Aviation
Disaster Law - Important legal information pertaining to
plane crashes Aviation law includes federal and state governments
that enact statutes and create administrative agencies to regulation
air traffic. The operation of aircraft and the maintenance of aviation
facilities are governed under aviation law, and the
Federal Aviation Administration uses different types of action to
enforce their laws and regulations.
Burden
of Proof A
plane crash is one of the world's most complex tragedies.
Establishing the cause and liable parties can be a time-intensive
process. Dealing with the loss of a loved one after a plane crash
is hard enough. The last thing a family wants to deal with is sorting
through all the details to find fault.
Laws
& Regulations Under
the law, you are afforded basic rights when you are a victim of someone
else's negligence. Plane crash victims' families
and survivors have such basic rights under state, federal, and even
international law.
Limitation
of Liability
In cases where the plaintiff can establish that the common air carrier's
negligence caused injury, the plaintiff might still face a limit in
the amount of money a court will award the plaintiff. Under the Federal
Aviation Act, an air carrier can file with the Civil Aeronautics
Board a tariff containing rules and regulations for the transportation
of persons.
