    What Are Some Common Causes of Aviation Accidents?

    Aviation accidents happen due to various reasons. Let's take a look at the most common:

    • Mechanical failures
    • Pilot error
    • Bad weather conditions
    • Air traffic control errors
    • Technological malfunctions

    Keep in mind that aviation accidents don't necessarily have to involve crashes. For perspective, you might be able to bring a valid claim on the following grounds:

    • Injuries due to severe turbulence
    • Slip and fall accidents
    • Ground service accidents
    • Exposure to hazardous materials
    • Improper pressurization, causing health issues like hypoxia
    • Food and beverage-related incidents, including scalds from hot drinks or food poisoning

    Understanding Your Rights After an Aviation Accident

    Passengers, crew members, and even people on the ground affected by an aviation accident have the right to seek compensation if negligence or a breach of duty is involved.
