Legal Question in Aviation Law in Virginia

Re: Product liability and Product negligence

There are a number of things to look at. First, there is the airplane itself. Some of the questions relating to the airplane are:

Why did the engine blow up?

Was there a design problem?

Was there a danger that was not warned about? Was there a problem with the maintenance?

Was there pilot error?

Then there questions about the parachutes. Were there problems with the chutes? Were they defective? Were they properly maintained? Were they properly packed?

Just because an accident occurs does not necessarily mean that someone is liable. There are many things that need to be looked at (including, among others, the things I mentioned above) to determine if there is a viable legal claim. Expert witnesses may need to be hired to help analyze the evidence (and to testify at trial in the event there is a case and it proceeds to trial).

Aviation cases can be quite complex. I recommend you talk to an attorney about this matter.
