Massachusetts aviation accidents are some of the most tragic types of transportation personal injury cases. This is due to the increased probability of serious injury or wrongful death. Both major airlines and regional airlines experience aviation accidents, along with commercial and private helicopters. However, airplane accidents most frequently involve small, privately owned planes, rather than large commercial airlines.

The National Transportation Safety Board reported that, in 2008 alone, there were 1,649 civilian aviation accidents that resulted in 564 deaths. Pilots operating small privately owned planes generally lack the experience of pilots of large commercial aircrafts, and have greater difficulties with takeoffs and landings, the most dangerous stages of a flight. Additionally, there can be problems with the plane’s maintenance that may go unnoticed and create problems in the air which cause the plane to crash.

Proving the cause of a Massachusetts plane crash is as complex as the construction of an airplane itself. It requires a sophisticated knowledge of the engineering and operation of airplanes and helicopters.

Federal Aviation Law

Aviation law is overseen at the federal level. Two main agencies are responsible for overseeing the aviation industry—the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

The FAA is responsible for airplane certification and safety regulations, as well as issuing licenses and certifications to pilots, among other things. The FAA cites the following as common causes of aviation accidents:

  • Bird hazards
  • Hazardous cargo
  • Flight deck layout confusion
  • Full tank ignition
  • Inclement weather, including icing
  • Incorrect piloting technique
  • Landing and takeoff excursions
  • Structural failure
  • Engine failure
  • Uncontrolled fire
  • Wind shear

In addition, the FAA cites a number of common themes that occur in aviation accidents,
including:

  • Flawed Assumption: Assumptions are expected results that, if all goes as intended, a safe outcome is produced. However, if a human or mechanical part does not operate as assumed, a completely different, and in come cases, catastrophic outcome can result.

  • Human Error: This is the most common of all aviation accident themes, and exists to some extent in almost every aviation accident. Human error arises when humans make mistakes that are later shown to have caused, or substantially contributed, to the aviation accident. Oftentimes, if done correctly, human actions can result in a safe outcome, but incorrect action can ultimately lead to a fatal aviation accident.

  • Organizational Lapses: This is where a standard process, procedure or requirement that allows vital tasks or information to be transferred from one organization to another breaks down somewhere along the organizational chain. Sometimes, this breakdown is the result of a deficient activity, gap in information or the transmission of incorrect information.

  • Pre-existing Failures: This is a condition on a single airplane or sometimes an entire fleet of airplanes that exists either as a latent condition or an active fault. Sometimes, the pre-existing condition is not hazardous itself, but when combined with other failures, it can cause an aviation accident. The failure may also be a known condition, such as a part that is listed on the airplane’s Minimum Equipment List (MEL).

  • Unintended Effects: This is a situation where a change in activity, originally intended to improve something, produces an undesirable consequence. The undesirable outcome may not manifest itself for many years. Unintended effects highlight the complex interdependence that all actions have when assessing aviation safety concerns.

National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)

The NTSB is another federal agency responsible for compiling an accident report for every civil aviation accident in the United States. There reports can often be useful when building a successful aviation accident lawsuit.

Our Massachusetts airplane accident personal injury lawyers have experience in both negotiating with Massachusetts insurance companies and litigating in Massachusetts courts.

We Have Tried Many Massachusetts Product Liability Cases, as Well as Cases Involving Crashes Caused by:
