The Aviation Accident Attorneys with the law firm of Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy explain that a majority of aircraft crashes that occur in the United States involve small, personally-owned aircraft. In fact, data from the National Transportation Safety Board shows that general aviation accidents accounted for roughly 95 percent of all airplane crashes that occurred last year.
In an effort to help reduce the number of General Aviation Accidents, the Federal Aviation Administration has announced it is releasing a new set of standards regarding stiffer inspections of small airplanes combined with regulations calling for parts of planes engines to be replaced sooner.
According to an article released by The Wall Street Journal, the moves were made in the wake of the agency receiving numerous reports of leaks and cracks occurring in aircrafts’ cylinders that could lead to planes suffering losses of power, and ultimately, crashes. So far, 35 reports have been received of such instances since 2009, with scores of other reports rolling in since then. Experts say the issue could affect as many as 10,000 aircraft.
The changes are the first of their kind in 11 years to affect so many aircraft.
The law firm’s team of personal injury lawyers recognizes how dangerous equipment failure on an aircraft can be and hope the new standards will help to prevent serious crashes.

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 […]
