Airline Accidents in the Air

Statistics show that airplanes are one of our safest kinds of transportation -- but when airplanes crash, the effect is catastrophic, with passengers, crew and people on the ground instantly killed or seriously injured. Passengers on commercial flights often also face injury from other passengers, even though the carrier they have paid owes them a duty to keep them safe from irrational or dangerous strangers. If you or someone you care about has been injured in the air, you should contact Gillin, Jacobson, Ellis & Larsen as soon as possible to protect your access to the courts.

In the past few years, everyone who flies has become more safety-conscious. However, there are still passengers who, due to stress or bad behavior, cause problems onboard and harm the others who are trapped next to them for the duration of the flight. Sometimes airline employees or equipment injure innocent passengers as well. In this situation, it's important not to accept a monetary settlement from the airline or sign anything right away -- you may be signing away your right to an attorney. Our firm can help you fully investigate the incident, find out what should have been done and get full compensation for your injuries.

Crashes, though rare, can be devastating for the loved ones left behind. Statistically, small private aircraft are the most likely to crash, but commercial carriers and government aircraft such as helicopters may also crash -- and are governed by stricter laws than those applied to accidents on the ground. While pilot error is still the most common cause of an airplane crash, poor maintenance, defective parts or design and bad judgment from supervisors can all contribute to a crash.
