What Are The Most Important Factors In An Aviation Case?

The two most important factors in any aviation lawsuit are liability and damages. When we evaluate an airplane accident case, we consider liability and damages first.

Liability means who or what caused or contributed to the accident. Was the Pilot responsible for the crash? Air Traffic Control (ATC)? Bad Maintenance? Fuel Contamination? Aircraft Design or Manufacturer? Owner or Renter’s failure to provide an “Airworthy Aircraft”? These are all important questions to ask when reviewing an airplane accident.

Damages, under the law, fall into two categories: Economic Damages and Non-Economic Damages.

Economic Damages include – but are not limited to – damage to the aircraft; loss of use of the aircraft; diminution in value of the aircraft; plus the cost of hospital and future medical care. Also, depending on the nature and extent of the injuries, economic damages can include the loss of the victim’s current and future income caused by the crash.

Non-Economic Damages include pain, suffering, fear, depression and any related mental conditions that didn’t exist before the airplane accident – or – were made worse as a result of the accident.

There are many other factors as well, but those are the two most important. If you – or someone you know – has suffered death or injury from an aviation accident, they absolutely should retain an attorney who has the knowledge and background of a Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) because that knowledge and experience is essential in getting you the best result you are entitled to in an aviation accident case. As a CFI, your trial attorney will truly understand all of the important issues that must be accounted for in any aviation accident case.

Looking for Helicopter Accident Lawyers?
Helicopter crash cases can be complex. Not all helicopters are the same, and different helicopters each present their own potential defects and operational hazards. When determining pilot error, many factors need to be taken into consideration. To strengthen our existing knowledge of these factors, Bailey & Partners’ attorneys bring in a wide range of experts and investigators to lend superior expertise to your case.
