Common Types of Aviation Accidents
Often, when we think of aviation accidents, we think of headline-making commercial airline crashes, but these are far from the only type of aviation accident. In fact, any incident that occurs during boarding, taxiing, takeoff, flight, landing, or deplaning could be considered an aviation accident.
Some common examples include:
- Aircraft crashes
- Runway collisions
- Fires and explosions
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Assaults or other acts of violence
These incidents can occur in a variety of settings, including aboard commercial airplanes, jets, private planes, helicopters, runways, tarmacs, jet bridges, and other areas. Regardless of where your accident occurred or the type of incident that caused your aviation-related injuries, our firm can help. Our aviation accident lawyers in Houma are here to answer your questions and provide the guidance you need to take the next steps with your case.
