Aviation Accident Attorney

The skies above Nevada and surrounding states host a high volume of traffic — tourist flights over the Grand Canyon, corporate planes, commuter planes and commercial jetliners. Flying is inherently dangerous, since even small errors can bring an aircraft down, and a helicopter crash or airplane accident typically occurs at a high speed and high elevation. In the event of an incident, an aviation accident attorney can help protect your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.

Causes of Aviation Accidents

When an inflight breakup, crash landing or takeoff crash occurs , the Federal Aviation Administration performs an investigation into the incident. Causes of helicopter and airplane accidents include equipment malfunction, unavoidable weather issues and pilot error. Often, an aviation accident is the result of a combination of factors. A pilot’s distraction during a change in the weather, the stress on defective equipment when the craft flies through a storm, or flying at low altitudes to provide tourists a better view — small errors cause fatal crashes.
