Commercial Aviation, U.S. and Foreign
Commercial aviation, both domestic and foreign, encompasses typical fare-paying, scheduled flights on small regional airlines and large commercial airlines, as well as chartered flights, air taxis, and private planes for hire. Many larger commercial airlines own or have code-share agreements with one or more regional operations which allows a smaller regional airline to use the marketing logo and name of the larger commercial airline in return for a fee. Similar agreements can be found between domestic and foreign carriers for international travel.
Commercial airline crashes are almost always multifaceted and devastating events, but in many cases, they are preventable. Typically, commercial airline crashes occur due to a combination of factors such as faulty aircraft equipment, negligent maintenance, pilot or crew error, air traffic control errors, security breaches, and/or a failure to check weather conditions. When an air tragedy occurs, Motley Rice’s aviation team does not merely rely on the National Transportation Safety Board or the Federal Aviation Administration investigations of a domestic crash, nor do we rely solely on the aviation investigative agency at the location of an international crash. In addition to reviewing available government investigations, we also conduct our own extensive research of the crash for the litigation process. If a crash happens in a foreign country, the Motley Rice aviation team is well-versed in international litigation and is familiar with the challenges of battling the well-funded legal teams of multi-billion dollar corporations, both international and domestic.
