Florida can be quite a precarious area to fly due to severe weather conditions and varied land, lake and water surfaces throughout the state. In addition the extreme daily weather conditions make flying challenging. Even though the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires certification, they are unable to teach an airplane pilot ideal judgment. Insufficient training, pilot fault as well as routine maintenance issues lead to plane, jet and helicopter crashes each year.
We represent individuals injured or even killed from aviation incidents involving planes, jets and helicopters. Frequently, pilot neglectfulness and poor judgment usually are what causes plane, jet and helicopter crashes which injure or even kill Floridians and travelers visiting the state. If you’ve been involved in an aviation accident, call Aviation Injury Attorney Eric Hewko.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS IN AN AVIATION CRASH & INJURY
(FACTS FROM A FLORIDA LAWYER)
Whenever bringing an aviation incident or wrongful death claim to trial, you should have a personal injury attorney that knows the law and also the aircraft.
Was It Weather Conditions, Pilot Fault, or a Problem With the Plane, Jet or Helicopter?
One of the more common factors that cause aircraft crashes throughout Florida is usually flying conditions the aircraft or the pilot could not cope with. Pilots can become disoriented during bad weather conditions. The aircraft might be unable to handle severe turbulence. Helicopters present similar dangers. Any time weather conditions can be threatening, it’s always the duty of the pilot to turn back or even to refuse to fly.
Lives are at risk and therefore the pilot has a responsibility to safety of the passengers. That responsibility must be greater than the motivations of the airline. Although it is a critical choice, even hospital medivac pilots should use careful attention when choosing to take flight in hazardous conditions for any medical pick up.
Compensation From The Appropriate People
There could be many responsible parties during an aviation mishap. If the company forced an airplane pilot to take flight in threatening conditions, that company can be at the least partially accountable for all injuries or fatalities. If an aircraft component broke, the manufacturer of the aircraft, or the owner of the aircraft that did not perform proper routine maintenance, might be accountable.
