Aviation accidents, though rare, can have catastrophic consequences, leading to severe injuries, fatalities, and significant financial losses.

At Scanes Yelverton Talbert, our dedicated attorneys in Waco, Texas, specialize in aviation accident cases, providing compassionate yet aggressive advocacy for those affected by plane crashes, helicopter accidents, and other aviation-related incidents.

Common Causes of Aviation Accidents

Aviation accidents can result from various factors, often involving a combination of human error, mechanical failure, and environmental conditions. Some of the most frequent causes include:

1. Pilot Error: Human mistakes remain one of the leading causes of aviation accidents. Misjudgment, lack of training, fatigue, or failure to follow safety protocols can lead to disastrous outcomes.
2. Mechanical Failures: Defective aircraft components, engine failures, or faulty maintenance can contribute to crashes. Manufacturers, maintenance crews, and airlines may be liable if negligence is proven.
3. Air Traffic Control Errors: Mistakes by air traffic controllers, such as miscommunication or incorrect instructions, can result in mid-air collisions or runway accidents.
4. Weather Conditions: Adverse weather, including thunderstorms, fog, or high winds, can make flying hazardous. Pilots and airlines must exercise extreme caution in poor weather conditions.
5.  Design or Manufacturing Defects: The responsible companies may be liable under product liability laws if an aircraft or its parts are improperly designed or manufactured.
6. Fuel Starvation or Contamination: Inadequate fuel supply or contaminated fuel can lead to engine failure, forcing emergency landings or crashes.
