The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating whether there is any connection between a string of Aviation Accidents involving several Hawker Beechcraft Premiere aircrafts in the past three weeks.
According to Aviation International News, the first crash occurred on February 20, outside of Augusta, Georgia, and claimed five lives. Then, on March 4, another Hawker aircraft went down in southern France and claimed two lives.
The most recent accident though, happened this past Sunday afternoon in South Bend, Indiana. The plane was carrying a group of five people to the South Bend Regional Airport at around 4:00 p.m. when the pilot reported experiencing electrical problems to air traffic controllers. The pilot and his crew made several failed attempts at landing the plane before crashing a short distance away from the airfield.
The impact of the crash killed both the pilot and co-pilot of the plane and left the three passengers who were on board seriously injured.
Investigators have recovered the “black box” from the aircraft to be examined for clues as to what may have been contributing factors to the crash.
The Airplane Accident Injury Attorneys with Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy applaud the efforts by the NTSB to ensure aircraft on today’s market are free from mechanical defects that could lead to failure while in the air. The firm is hopeful their investigation will be able to prevent any further accidents from occurring with this particular aircraft.

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 […]
