7/08/2020 Updated As Of

Statistically speaking, flying in an airplane is safer than driving in a car. However, when things go wrong on an airplane, they can lead to great tragedy. Regardless of if aviation accidents happen while in the air or still on the ground, many times, they often lead to serious injury or death. If you or a loved one was involved in an airplane accident, then you may need an Oregon airplane accident lawyer. Here is some advice from Greg Veralrud, a top Oregon personal injury lawyer.

Types of Aviation Accidents

There are many different types of airplanes that get us places, and all of them have the potential to have a failure or get into an accident. When you fly in an airplane, it is of utmost importance that the pilot and crew are well-trained and experienced, and that the airplane is in proper working condition with proper maintenance and safety procedures completed. Here are some types of aircraft and planes that are often involved in aviation accidents:

  • Commercial Airline Flightsaviation-accident-attorney-oregon-2

  • Charter Flights
  • Military Aircraft
  • Sightseeing Helicopters or Planes

Causes of Airplane Accidents

When things do go wrong and a plane crash happens, it is often hard to pinpoint who was at fault. Much of the time, after a plane gets into a crash, the initial investigation will uncover what caused the accident. However, it is also not uncommon for an investigation to take months or years before the airplane accident’s cause is uncovered. Here are some common causes of airplane accidents:

  • Pilot or Crew Error
  • Pilot Fatigue
  • Unforgiving Weather Conditions (Bad Judgment from Pilot)
  • FAA Regulation Violations
  • Air Traffic Controller Error
  • Air Traffic Controller Fatigue
  • Faulty or Defective Equipment
  • Negligence in Maintenance or Repair
  • Fueling Errors
  • Improper Loading
