Common Causes of Aviation Accidents

Pilot Error

Pilot mistakes, such as improper navigation or miscommunication, are often leading causes of aviation accidents. Our team works with aviation experts to analyze flight data and investigate whether pilot negligence contributed to the crash.

Mechanical Failure

Faulty equipment or poor maintenance can lead to mechanical failure mid-flight. We examine maintenance records and collaborate with technical experts to determine if negligence played a role in the accident.

Air Traffic Control Errors

Miscommunication or errors by air traffic control personnel can result in disastrous accidents. These claims require specialized knowledge of aviation law and protocols, which we bring to every case.

Weather Conditions

Severe weather, such as thunderstorms or turbulence, can contribute to accidents. However, pilots and airlines are responsible for making informed decisions about whether it’s safe to fly.

Who Can Be Held Liable in Aviation Accidents?

Aviation accident cases can involve multiple liable parties, depending on the cause of the accident. Potential defendants may include:

Airlines and Operators

Commercial airlines must ensure passenger safety. They may be held accountable if their negligence—such as failure to train staff, improper maintenance, or ignoring safety protocols—contributed to the crash.

Manufacturers

When an accident occurs due to defective aircraft parts, the aircraft manufacturer or part supplier can be liable for product liability. Our firm has experience in investigating these claims and holding manufacturers responsible.

Airport Authorities

In some cases, airport personnel or ground crew negligence can lead to accidents. From faulty equipment to improper guidance of aircraft, these errors can cause devastating incidents.

Compensation for Aviation Accident Victims

Aviation accidents often result in severe injuries or death. Compensation can cover a wide range of damages:

Economic Damages

  • Medical expenses: Covers the cost of emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term medical treatment.
  • Lost wages: Victims may be entitled to compensation for lost income and future earning potential if they are unable to return to work.
  • Funeral costs: In cases of wrongful death, families can seek compensation for burial expenses.

Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering: Victims or their families may receive compensation for the emotional and physical pain resulting from the accident.
  • Loss of companionship: In wrongful death cases, families can seek damages for the loss of love, support, and companionship.

Aviation law is a specialized area of legal practice that involves intricate federal and international regulations, requiring an attorney with specific expertise. At Eric Ramos Law, we have the knowledge and experience to handle these complex cases.

Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs)

Aviation accidents in the U.S. are governed by Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), which outline safety standards for aircraft operations, pilot conduct, and maintenance procedures. Our team is well-versed in these regulations and can effectively apply them to your claim.

International Aviation Claims

If your accident occurred on an international flight, your case might fall under the Montreal Convention, an international treaty that governs airline liability. We have experience handling claims under both U.S. and international laws, ensuring that all avenues for compensation are pursued.

Aviation Accident Claims: Your Questions Addressed

What should I do if I’ve been involved in an aviation accident?

If you’ve been involved in an aviation accident, your priority should be your health. Seek immediate medical attention. Once you’re safe, contact an experienced aviation accident attorney, like Eric Ramos Law, to discuss your legal rights. Preserving evidence and gathering information early is crucial for building a strong case.

Who can file an aviation accident claim?

Aviation accident claims can be filed by victims who suffered injuries in the crash or by the families of individuals who died as a result of the accident. Passengers, crew members, and even individuals on the ground affected by the accident may be eligible to file a claim.

What types of compensation can I receive in an aviation accident claim?

Compensation in aviation accident claims can cover a wide range of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In wrongful death cases, families may be entitled to compensation for funeral costs, loss of companionship, and financial support.

Who can be held liable for an aviation accident?

Liability in aviation accidents can fall on several parties, including the airline, the pilot, aircraft manufacturers, maintenance providers, and even airport authorities. The specific cause of the accident will determine who is held responsible.

How long do I have to file an aviation accident claim?

The time limit to file an aviation accident claim varies depending on the jurisdiction and the specifics of the case. In the U.S., personal injury claims generally need to be filed within two years of the accident. International claims may be subject to different deadlines. Contact Eric Ramos Law to ensure you don’t miss any filing deadlines.

What makes aviation accident claims more complex than other personal injury cases?

Aviation accident claims are often more complex due to the involvement of federal and international laws, multiple liable parties, and the need for detailed technical investigations. Navigating regulations like the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) and treaties like the Montreal Convention requires specialized legal knowledge.

What is the Montreal Convention, and how does it affect my claim?

The Montreal Convention is an international treaty that governs the rights of passengers on international flights. It holds airlines strictly liable for injuries or deaths occurring during international travel, but compensation limits and other rules apply. If your accident occurred on an international flight, this convention could impact your claim.

How long does it take to resolve an aviation accident claim?

Aviation accident claims can take months or even years to resolve, depending on the complexity of the case, the number of parties involved, and the willingness of the defendants to settle. At Eric Ramos Law, we work diligently to expedite the process while ensuring we secure maximum compensation for you.

Can I still file a claim if the aviation accident was due to bad weather?

Yes, even if weather was a factor in the accident, you may still have grounds to file a claim. Pilots and airlines are responsible for making safe decisions regarding weather conditions, and failure to do so can result in liability. Our legal team will investigate whether proper precautions were taken.

What should I do if I’m receiving workers' compensation?

At Eric Ramos Law, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we win your case. We offer a free consultation to review your case and explain your legal options.
