Helicopter crashes and accidents can be among the most dangerous that a person can go through. When faced with such a tragedy, the need for proper legal representation shoots up. Also, the need to hold those responsible liable for their errors and negligence shoots way up too.
A free consultation to review your legal rights remains precisely what you require to start the recovery process.
A civil helicopter takes off from the airport to bring tourists to the city.
Helicopters are commonly known as:
Auto-giros
Whirlybirds
Choppers.
And these indeed are amazing machines requiring advanced engineering and many safety features.
Even to perform relatively simple maneuvers, the work needed to get a helicopter off the ground is tremendous.
Pilots require extra exceptional training, and the risk increases from having no fixed wings.
Thus, auto-rotation and other safety training are a must.
Pilots must also understand:
How to use the foot-pedals
Limitations of rotor blades on the aerodynamic flight.
Any mess-ups are curtains for your pilot, co-pilot, and fellow passengers like you.
So we know that chopper crashes can be life-ending and risky.
So what else must we know?
Their construction requires advanced engineering and redundant safety features.
To keep them flying, they require skilled mechanics to perform regular inspections and maintenance. Unlike fixed-wing aircraft, these agile birds can’t just glide back to earth if there is an engine failure or malfunction.
In any event, as discussed, copter crashes can easily be life-ending events.
Amputation and other types of grievous bodily harm.
What Are Some Causes of Helicopter Crashes?
Pilot error (Helicopter crashes into a building and catches fire, etc.)
Defective parts (poorly made or designed rotors, etc.)
Improper maintenance
Weather events
Poor designs.
Many different hands are responsible for the flight of these machines and could be liable for a crash, including:
Air traffic controller error
Flight service negligence
Helicopter pad operator negligence
Bird strikes
Due to the severity of injuries sustained, death, and negligence factors can complicate litigation around chopper accidents.
