Need Skilled Legal Representation for Your Aviation Injury Case?
Trusted Legal Advocacy for Victims of California Aviation Crashes and In-Flight Injuries
When a California plane crash occurs, the consequences are often catastrophic. While air travel is statistically safe, accidents involving commercial airlines, private planes, and helicopters still happen. When they do, victims and families are left facing life-altering injuries, grief, and overwhelming uncertainty.
At National Injury Help, our San Diego airplane accident attorneys are here to provide clear guidance, skilled representation, and unwavering support for those affected by aviation-related incidents.
What Causes Airplane Accidents?
Every airplane accident has its own unique set of facts. In some cases, pilot error is to blame. In others, mechanical failure, air traffic control mistakes, or faulty maintenance play a central role.
Recent aviation incidents across the United States underscore the complexities and risks associated with air travel, even in ground operations. For instance, in May 2025, two United Airlines aircraft clipped wings while taxiing at San Francisco International Airport, marking the second such incident in less than a month.
Regardless of the cause, victims have a right to know what happened and whether the crash could have been prevented.
Common causes of aviation accidents include:
- Pilot error or inexperience.
- Equipment or mechanical failure.
- Poor maintenance procedures.
- Defective aircraft parts.
- Air traffic controller mistakes.
- Fuel system issues.
- Violations of Federal Aviation Administration regulations.
- Weather-related navigation failures.
Our attorneys work with aviation experts to investigate every angle of your case and determine the actual cause of the incident.
Who May Be Liable in an Airplane Accident?
Determining liability in aviation accidents requires extensive investigation and often involves multiple responsible parties. At National Injury Help, we pursue every avenue of accountability to ensure that negligent parties are held accountable.
Potentially liable parties may include:
- Commercial airline operators.
- Private plane owners or charter companies.
- Aircraft manufacturers or part suppliers.
- Maintenance crews or service providers.
- Government entities, including air traffic control agencies.
Because airplane accident claims often cross jurisdictional boundaries and involve federal aviation laws, it is critical to have a legal team experienced in complex litigation.
