Hire a Fighter: Retain a Doan Law Firm Aviation Accident Lawyer

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, as well as the Convention on International Civil Aviation, have developed a specific legal definition for what constitutes and aviation accident. An aviation accident is defined as an occurrence that is directly associated with the operation of an aircraft. It is considered an aviation accident when it takes place between the time a person boards an aircraft with the specific intention to fly and continues until the last person deplanes. An incident rises to the level of an aviation accident when a person on the aircraft is seriously or fatally injured and the aircraft itself sustains damage.

The National Transportation Safety Board, or NTSB, investigates aviation accidents in the United States. Although there are always specific facts associated with a particular events, there are some more frequent types of aviation accidents in the United States and elsewhere around the world.

Common Types of Aviation Accidents

There are a number of aviation accidents that occur with greater frequency over those that are less commonplace. Oftentimes, a combination of causes underpin a particular aviation accident.

The more frequently occurring types of aviation accidents include:

• pilot error
• mechanical failure
• design defect or failure
• air traffic control error
• defective runways

In many cases, something will go awry during the course of a flight. The initial problem is aggravated by another issue. For example, a mechanical failure of some sort may occur, which is not in and of itself particularly significant. However, due to pilot error, that initial problem becomes aggravated, resulting in an aviation accident that results in serious and even fatal injuries.
