Dallas Airplane Accident Attorneys

Commercial airplanes are governed by many of the same regulations that affect buses, taxis, trains, and other "common carriers." The means that commercial airplanes and private airplanes are governed by different laws and protocols - both state and federal - than those that apply to private airplanes or other private vehicles. Because common carriers are businesses that transport persons or cargo for compensation, as a general rule, are held to a standard of care higher than is a private party. This requires both the skill and the training to transport passengers and cargo, and more than reasonable care must be exercised.

In the event of an airplane crash, investigators first seek to discover the cause of the crash. This is not an easy task: so much evidence is destroyed in the violence of the crash that there may be few clues available. Pilot error is the most common cause of airplane crash, followed by mechanical failure, design flaws and weather. Any and all evidence available from the crash site, no matter how small, must be collected and analyzed to determine the cause of the crash. Once this is done, it becomes possible to decide if the basis for a lawsuit exists.
