    Aircraft Accidents

    There are three basic types of aircraft categories:  Military, Commercial (usually airlines) and General Aviation. The Janet, Jenner, & Suggs cases revolve around the General Aviation aircraft which is defined as:

    Between 70 and 80 percent of all general aviation crashes are attributed to pilot error according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The aircraft navigation system and computers are very reliable, if properly maintained, and when a particular part of an aircraft consistently malfunctions, it gets fixed or replaced through service bulletins or airworthiness directives. Unfortunately, human errors are consistent, persistent, and show slow improvement.


    Top Reasons For General Aircraft Crashes

    About 20 percent of general aviation aircraft crashes result in death. The other 80 percent usually cause serious injuries and loss of property. Prompt investigation and use of forensic resources are critical to the successful litigation of plane crash cases.

    Owners of the aircraft are responsible for ensuring the personal safety of their passengers. Manufacturers are liable for damages caused by the airplanes or parts that they make in most cases. The attorneys of Janet, Jenner & Suggs are familiar with the litigation of issues that are likely to arise in a private plane crash lawsuit. Litigation of plane crash claims can be extremely expensive due to our high reliance on expert investigators and witnesses and the complexity of the evidence.
