Plane Crashes

Plane crashes are devastating events that often result in significant loss of life, serious injuries, and profound emotional trauma. The aftermath of such tragedies leaves lasting impacts on victims' families, prompting calls for improved safety measures and accountability within the aviation industry. Committed to seeking accountability and justice, Presley & Presley works tirelessly to uphold aviation safety standards and support our clients through these challenging times.

When Aviation Fails Legal Recourse for Victims of Plane Crashes

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, there are nearly 170,000 fixed-wing general aviation aircraft (non-scheduled, civil aircraft excluding any for-hire aircraft) in use across the U.S. which account for over 25.5 million flight hours annually. Add to that number the nearly 15,000 chartered flights for sightseeing, business and personal travel, and the thousands of corporate-owned business jets, and the sky is pretty full. While air travel is remarkably safe considering the number of flights every day in comparison to comparable statistics for vehicular travel, the nature of aircraft travel means the manufacturing, maintenance, repair, fueling, operation, and piloting skills of planes have to be near-perfect. Any negligence in one of these areas can cause a fatal crash. If you or a loved one has experienced a plane crash then you need the help of a plane crash attorney who is an expert in this area of personal injury and is dedicated to getting justice for negligent actions.

About Plane Crash Liability

Determining liability in a plane crash can be complicated because there may be multiple sources of liability. Our job is to thoroughly investigate the circumstances of the crash, the crash site, the maintenance records, pilot’s history and any other relevant factors. With the help of experienced aviation experts, we determine liability after finding the cause(s) of the crash and effectively communicating our findings in a claim showing how negligence caused our client’s injuries or death and what damages the victim or their family is rightfully entitled to. Examples of negligence include:

Mechanical failure due to improper or neglected maintenance or defective equipment
Malfunctioning avionics equipment
Failure to follow safety procedures or inspections
Inexperienced pilot in inclement weather
Other pilot error
