Indianapolis Airplane Accident Attorneys

Commercial airplanes are regulated by several entities, both federal and state, with numerous levels of rules. These include those laws which regulate other "common carriers" - commercial trains, buses, etc - as well as specific air laws and protocols, which are different than those for private airplanes and other vehicles. Generally, in distinguishing between private and common carrier regulations, it is the common carrier which is held to a higher standard of care. They are expected to possess the skill and the training necessary to transport passengers and cargo as well as the reasonable care necessary in serving the public as a vendor.

In the event of an airplane crash, the first area of investigation is into the cause of the crash. This can be challenging, since the signs of mechanical failure, pilot error, or other cause can be all but destroyed in the violence of a crash. The most frequent cause of crashes is pilot error; mechanical failure, design flaw, and extreme weather conditions are also likely contributing factors to some degree. Whatever the evidence available, it is vital that it be collected and studied to maximize the chances of determining the cause of the crash. Once ascertained, the cause of the crash is the single most important factor in deciding if the basis for a lawsuit exists.
