Crashes involving small, privately owned aircraft make up a majority of the airplane accidents that occur in the United States today. In fact, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says that General Aviation Accidents made up nearly 95 percent of all aircraft crashes that occurred in our nation last year.
An investigation into the cause of each accident must be launched in order to help prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future; however, determining the cause of a crash can be extremely difficult.
Take, for instance, the case of a fatal accident that occurred at the Nashville International Airport earlier this month. Reports from the NTSB indicate the pilot of a single engine Cessna aircraft circled the facility for several hours without radio contact before attempting to land at one of the runways. An article from CNN News explains that when trying to land, the pilot crashed, causing the plane to burst into flames and claiming the pilot’s life.
Investigators later determined the pilot was not licensed to fly under the conditions he was in, raising questions as to why the pilot took the actions he did.
The Aviation Accident Attorneys with Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy are aware of how vital it can be to determine the cause of an accident and are hopeful some conclusions can be reached as to the cause of this latest fatal crash.

Proving medical malpractice is notoriously difficult. That’s because every patient is different, and bad outcomes can happen even when doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare providers are thorough, attentive, and follow all protocols and guidelines when treating patients. In addition to being difficult to prove, doctors, surgeons, and other providers rarely admit to malpractice when it […]

When people are hospitalized, they and their loved ones expect for them to get better. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and sometimes, their health declines because they contract diseases that are primarily found in hospitals. One of the most dreaded hospital-related illnesses is an intestinal illness caused by a bacteria called Clostridioides difficile, or C. […]

One of the most common traffic violations committed by any driver is driving with a burned-out headlight, taillight, brake light, or turn signal. While these traffic violations can be dangerous for drivers of pickup trucks, sedans, and SUVs, they can be extremely hazardous for drivers of semi-trucks—and the people driving near them. Burned out semi-truck […]
