St. Louis Aviation Accident Attorney

Airplane crashes can be devastating and are very often fatal. If you or a loved one has been catastrophically injured in a plane accident, the medical bills you are faced with could ruin you financially – not to mention the fact that your physical injuries resulting from the accident could place you in a position in which you are unable to work. These two factors combined can create serious problems for you and your family. With the help of a knowledgeable St. Louis airplane accident lawyer, you could be able to recover compensation for the costs of some or all of the following:

In addition to the above, you could also be eligible to obtain compensation for lost wages due to your injuries. You could also be able to receive compensation for non-financial losses such as loss of enjoyment of life.

In-Flight Injuries

When people imagine an airplane accident, they often picture a devastating crash. However, many airplane passengers are injured each year by in-flight incidents. This can include baggage falling from the overhead compartments, slipping and falling while walking in the cabin, collisions with unsecured service carts and failing to warn passengers about severe turbulence.

Airlines are common carriers, which means that they must exercise a high degree of care in order to protect passengers from any potential harm. If they fail to meet these standards, then they can be held liable for damages.

Liability in Airplane Accidents

In order to determine liability after an airplane accident, the cause of the accident must be determined. This can be a difficult and complex process because it is possible that a number of different factors led to the accident. While the National Safety Transportation Board (NTSB) is tasked with investigating major airline crashes, the FBI and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may become involved, depending on the nature of the incident. An experienced St. Louis airplane accident attorney from The Cagle Law firm can also conduct an independent investigation into the accident. Airplane accidents can be result of the one or more of the following:

  • Pilot error
  • Air traffic controller error
  • Defective design or other structural problems
  • Faulty equipment
  • Negligent maintenance or repair
  • Fuel issues
