Philadelphia Airplane Accident Attorney
Commercial airplanes are considered “common carriers,” as they transport both cargo and passengers, like buses and trains. The same state and federal regulations govern the activities of all common carriers and generally hold such vehicles to a much higher standard than private vehicles fulfilling the same purpose (private jets, for example).
After an airplane crash, second only to rescue efforts are investigative procedures to discover the cause of the crash. This can be extremely difficult as the violence of the crash is so destructive, often leaving little evidence to use to reconstruct the crash. This may be especially true in a crash in or over water.
The most common cause of airplane crash is pilot error. Design flaw, mechanical failure, and extreme weather conditions may also be to blame. In addition to the importance of discovering the cause of the crash for the sake of surviving family and preventing similar future tragedy, this information is vital in the legal arena, as it determines whether or not liability claims against the airline are appropriate.
