Frequently Asked Questions

Is it More Common For a Commercial Plane or a Private Plane to Crash?

Commercial planes are statistically less likely to crash than private planes, primarily due to stricter regulations, professional pilots, and more advanced safety measures. While more numerous, private planes have a higher accident rate per flight hour.

Can You Sue an Airline for a Plane Crash?

Yes, you can sue an airline for a plane crash if the crash was caused by the airline’s negligence or the negligence of its employees or agents. However, the specific circumstances of the crash and the applicable laws will determine the lawsuit’s viability.

What Is the FAA’s Role in Aviation Accidents?

The FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration, regulates aviation safety. They set safety standards, oversee aircraft certification, and conduct investigations in collaboration with the NTSB to determine the causes of aviation accidents and improve safety measures.
