Experienced California Aircraft Accident Lawyer - You will be obtaining an experienced California Personal Injury Attorney and pilot thoroughly familiar with the dynamics of flight and the causes of aircraft crashes.

Since the birth of flight, aircraft have crashed, often with serious consequences. This is because of the unforgiving nature of flight, where a relatively insubstantial medium, air, supports a significant mass through dynamically active technological means, Should this support fail, there is limited opportunity for a positive outcome. Because of this, aircraft design is concerned with minimizing the chance of failure, and pilots are trained with safety as a primary consideration.

Early in the development of flight one school of thought designed aircraft with an eye toward surviving an aircraft accident. However, the design was too heavy and, therefore, more likely to crash. If you have ever flown in a small four-passenger aircraft, you probably noticed the doors, dash, seats and other visible interior structures seemed rather flimsy. They are. The non-structural portions of aircraft (those parts of the aircraft designed to support it in flight) are, of necessity, very light and flimsy. When these small aircraft crash, the results can be devastating. Flight in private aircraft is far more dangerous than on scheduled airlines. Unlike scheduled airlines, in many instances pilots have less training, maintenance is inadequate and the private aircraft, unlike scheduled airlines, does not have a redundancy of systems in the event of a system failure.

Travel by scheduled airlines is, by far, the safest form of transportation. Each year the trend is toward safer flight. However, aircraft are built, maintained and flown by humans. And humans are imperfect. Three of the major causes of airline disasters involve a design flaw, improper maintenance and pilot (or controller) error.
