Airplane Accident Occurrence
Airplane accidents are not as common as other
types of accidents involving other means of
transportation, such as those in case of
automobiles, however, they tend to involve large
number of individuals and have a highly destructive
potential.
Airplane accidents can concern large, commercial
planes or they can involve small planes, private jets or
helicopters.
3. 3
Most Airplane Accidents are
Catastrophic
These types of accidents are usually classified as
catastrophic accidents due to the nature of the
extensive or total damages and losses that occur.
The surviving victims or the families of the deceased
ones are advised to seek the help of a Los Angeles
personal injury attorney who can represent their
case.
4. 4
Airplane Accident Causes
Airplane accidents can happen for a number of
reasons, mostly including mechanical ones, but they
can also be caused by human error or negligence.
Product defects in the mechanical pieces of the
aircraft can also be a reason and sometimes the
crash can be attributed to natural causes such as
unpredictable changes in weather or, in rare cases,
terrorist attacks.
5. 5
Negligence in Airplane Accidents
Along with product defects, human negligence is
another important factor in determining who is to
blame for this type of accident.
Airline companies bear unlimited liability but in
smaller-scale airplane accidents, liability can be
attributed to the private plane pilot and his/her
negligence or failure to observe his/her duty of care
towards the passengers.
6. 6
Making a Claim for Airplane
Accident Injuries
The claims for damages can be made to the airline
company or to the manufacturers of the mechanical
parts.
These cases can be difficult because of the fact that
they are considered disasters, but this does not mean
that you, as a surviving victim or as the relative of a
person deceased in the accident, cannot be entitled
to compensations.
7. 7
Types of Injuries and
Compensations >>
The types of injuries sustained in an airplane
accident can be extensive and debilitating.
As a victim, you have the right to claim compensations
for any medical bills incurred after the accident and
the costs of the additional treatment and/or lifelong
care after the accident. You may also claim
compensation for the lost income during the
hospitalization period and afterward.
8. 8
>> Types of Injuries and
Compensations
Airplane accidents don’t always involve wrongful
death and severe injuries from crashes. They can
also mean a slip and fall on the stairs or injuries
caused by falling luggage.
In these cases, the lawyer will look at the different
scenarios in order to determine negligence and
whether or not the passenger can also be to blame
for failing to follow the safety warnings and signs.
9. 9
Wrongful Death Claims
Wrongful death claims can bring monetary
compensations to the families of the victims who
perished in the accident.
These include monetary compensations for the
funeral costs and/or compensations for the emotional
suffering caused by losing a loved one. Dependent
spouses or children may also receive compensations.
10. 10

The impact of an airplane accident is more
substantial than for other types of personal injury
accidents due to its nature, the usually catastrophic
circumstances and the large number of involved
individuals.

important, both for the families and for the
survivors. Contact our Los Angeles personal
injury attorneys for legal counseling and advice in
