Fresno Airline Accident Attorneys
Fresno Airline Accidents and Injuries
Traveling by air is statistically the safest form of transportation, however, when an airplane does crash, it is usually of catastrophic proportions. Passengers and crew are often killed or suffer permanent, debilitating injuries in an airline crash. Aviation disasters are usually the result of some form of negligence or environmental factor or both. Although much progress has been made in improving aviation safety, pilot error and improper communication are frequently factors in aircraft collisions. Other causes of airline accidents include:
- Bird strike – collision between a bird and aircraft
- Fire
- Ice and snow – icing of wings decreases the ability of the wing to lift
- Engine failure
- Lightning
- Stalling – failure of wings to produce enough lift
- Terrorism
- Runway design
- Ground damage – damage to an aircraft by passenger boarding equipment, cargo belt loaders or catering trucks.

Fresno Airline Accident Injuries
For survivors, the aftermath of an airline accident can be painful both physically and emotionally. Many victims suffer catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, head injuries, paralysis, brain damage, severe burn injuries, severed limb injuries, multiple internal organ injuries and broken bone injuries. Catastrophic injuries can lead to various secondary injuries, such as infection, shock, respiratory issues, and bowel and bladder dysfunction. In addition to physical injuries, victims can suffer from emotional injuries. Posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression and behavioral changes are just some of the different emotional injuries airline crash victims may exhibit.

Aviation accidents can be a legally complex area of law. Because the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulates the airline industry, state and federal agencies are typically involved in an airline disaster lawsuit, which can make for a challenging case.
