Airplane Accident Resulting in Wrongful Death
Although you’re much less likely to be in an airplane accident and incident than a car accident, when they do, they are usually the result of either a drunk pilot or manufacturer malfunctions. If you suffered a loss due to an aviation crash, call Utah Wrongful Death Lawyers to learn how we can help you with a wrongful death lawsuit.
Wrongful Death from Airplane Accident
Sadly, when there is a plane crash, some or all of the passengers usually perish. However, there are also many instances where those on the ground are injured or die. Some of the many causes of plane crashes that all warrant compensation include:
- Drunk or otherwise inebriated pilots
- Overall pilot negligence including neglecting safety procedures
- Uncertified pilot on the aircraft flown
- Defective or counterfeit parts or manufacturer malfunctions
- Fuel contamination
- Poor maintenance
- Air traffic control errors
No matter where the death occurs, if the pilot should not have been flying for any reason or the NTSB determines the airplane crash was due to maintenance or manufacturer malfunctions, you have a wrongful death case.

Once they have gathered enough information, we can then file a case on your behalf.
