Hiring an attorney with specific experience in the type of accident that caused you or a loved one serious harm is imperative—especially in airplane crash accidents. While the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is responsible for creating a probable cause report for all plane accidents in the United States, their report is not admissible in court because it does not adhere to the high burden of proof plaintiff’s must satisfy to determine legal negligence. For this reason, it is a good idea to hire an attorney who can effectively parse through the NTSB report to gain a starting point to conduct his or her own investigation of what caused a plane crash.
There are a number of preventable reasons plane accidents occur, including:
- Pilot Error
- Air Traffic Controller Error
- Failure to Follow FAA Regulations
- Airline Negligence
- Mechanic Error
- Flight Crew Error
- Mechanical Malfunction
- Aircraft Design Flaws

Notice and Warning: All crash cases and claims arising from crashes have time limitations, within which written tort claims notices to governmental agencies and suit must be filed, or the claim will be forever barred. These time limits and preliminary written tort claims notices to necessary governmental agencies vary widely depending upon a careful legal analysis of location of the crash, domicile of the parties, domicile of the survivors, families, and choice-of-law issues. Therefore, if your crash occurred some time ago, it is strongly recommended that you contact Gilman Law Office by telephone, because telephones are monitored 24/7/365, but web-based communications can have a delay in delivery.
