New York (NY) Lawyers - Plane Accident Questions
What is a runway incursion?
A runway incursion is an incident at an airport, which involves an aircraft, vehicle, person or object on the ground that creates a hazard either when the plane is taking off or landing.
Runway incursions result from pilot error, air traffic controller error and ground personnel errors. Runway incursions have caused both minor and catastrophic accidents.
Who Investigates Plane Crashes?
Unfortunately because all plane crashes are different, the agencies involved in the investigations vary. Depending on the circumstances, one or more of the following agencies will be involved, National Transportation Safety Board, Federal Aviation Administration, Transportation Security Administration and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. If an accident happens on foreign soil, the Department of Justice, Department of State or Defense Department may be called. If the plane crash involves a military aircraft, the Military Safety Mishap Board will be called.
What is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim is brought against an airline when your loved one was killed as a result of the airlines negligence. An airline can be sued for pain and suffering, mental anguish loss of consortium and future wage loss.
Who Can Be Sued?
An airplane manufacturer may be sued for defects in a plane’s design, assembly of the plane, their choice of materials, testing procedures and more.
The FAA is responsible for monitoring the airplane while in flight. If there is a breach in their duties, there may be a valid claim for damages. Likewise, air traffic controllers have been known to be negligent and thus, the government can be held liable for the error of their controllers.
