| Airplane Accidents
Commercial airplanes are governed by the regulations affecting
common carriers and are governed by different laws and protocols
than are private airplanes or other private vehicles. A common carrier
is a business that transports persons or cargo for compensation.
Both Federal and state regulations govern the activities of common
carriers such as buses, trains, and airplanes. As a general rule,
a common carrier is held to a higher standard of care than is a
private party. They must have both the skill and the training to
transport passengers and cargo, and more than reasonable care must
be exercised.
When an airplane crashes, the first area of information must be
to discover what caused the crash. This can be difficult, since
much evidence can be destroyed, including signs of mechanical failure
or pilot error. Some of the causes of crashes include pilot error,
which is the most frequent cause; design flaws; mechanical failure;
and extreme weather conditions. It is vital that whatever evidence
is available be collected and studied so that the cause of the crash
can be determined. Once this is done, it will be possible to decide
if basis for a lawsuit exists.
If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call Boller & Vaughan S.C. at (608) 268-0268 or submit
an online questionnaire. The initial consultation is free of charge, and
if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which
means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds.
In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date,
known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you
do not waive your right to possible compensation.
