Common Causes of Airplane Accidents

Airplane accidents are most commonly caused by at least one of the following:

  • Fueling issues
In addition to the federal National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may lend a hand in investigating.

Types of Airplane Accident Litigation

The following are types of airplane accident litigation that survivors may pursue against the airline, the manufacturer of the airplane and its parts, and possibly others depending on the cause of the crash.

CLAIM OF NEGLIGENCE

A negligence claim may be filed if pilot error or any other mistake made by a human-caused the crash. The plaintiff must show that a careless act was committed by an individual (e.g. the pilot) leading to victims being injured or killed and that a competent person would have acted in a different manner.

PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS

If defective parts, structural issues, defective equipment, or a faulty design are to blame for being major contributing factors in a plane accident resulting in injury or death, then a product liability claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the faulty part or the plane may be filed. The legal theory of “strict liability” may apply, which means that the plaintiff only has to prove that a defect caused injury, not negligence.

FEDERAL TORT CLAIMS ACT

When an airplane accident is caused due to the negligence on behalf of an FAA employee, plaintiffs can sue a government agency but must do so under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). An airplane accident attorney can explain the special rules that must be followed when suing under this act.
