Aircraft & Helicopter Crashes

---

While commercial aviation is still one of the safest ways to travel, mistakes do happen. What should you know if you or a loved one has been involved in an airplane accident? If the airplane is privately owned, then the laws that apply would be similar to that of an auto accident. But in addition to the "rules of the road," private airline accidents often involve a malfunction, which means the manufacturer could also be liable. However, if the injury occurred in a commercial airliner, an entirely different set of rules apply.

The airline industry is heavily regulated and inspected, and Airlines are generally considered to be high reliability organizations, also known as HRO's. Due to the nature of these organizations they must run extremely efficiently in order to provide prompt, and safe service. Unfortunately, due to the simple fact that they are run and operated by human beings, mistakes can and do occur. Men and women in the work place can make poor decisions; the Airline as a whole can make poor decisions, and at times they may fail to adhere to the high standards set by the regulatory commissions.
