New Jersey Airplane Accident Attorneys
Injured in an Aviation Accident?
Statistically, you’re far more likely to be hurt in an car accident than in a plane crash. However, when airplanes and helicopters have problems in flight, the result is often death or very serious injuries. Both federal and New Jersey state law recognize this by strictly regulating pilots, air traffic controllers, aviation mechanics, and others whom we trust with our safety. When airlines and plane manufacturers fail in their obligation to ensure passenger safety, victims and their families have the right to hold those airlines, plane manufacturers and others responsible for any injuries resulting from such shortcomings; and may bring an aviation accident lawsuit.

COMMON CAUSES OF AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS
Unfortunately, airplane crashes aren’t limited to the relatively few commercial jet crashes we read about in the news. Small noncommercial aircraft (“general aviation”), charter planes, helicopters, and aircraft used by government agencies are statistically more likely to be involved in accidents than commercial jetliners. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, poor decisions are the number-one cause of crashes of both commercial and general aviation flights. Commonly cited causes of accidents include:
- Pilot error
- Mistakes by air traffic controllers and others on the ground
- Decisions to fly in dangerous weather
- Defective equipment
- Inadequate maintenance
Aviation accidents often result in deaths or very serious injuries including burns, spinal and brain damage, and other injuries likely to lead to permanent disability. These injuries, when the result of someone else’s carelessness, are preventable tragedies.
