There are many ways in which you could prove negligence in an aviation accident case. First, if you were in a plane piloted by someone else, your personal injury attorney in Houston may point to the fact that he or she wasn't properly trained or wasn't properly trained to fly the craft that you were in. It may also be possible to point to the fact that the pilot was tired or impaired while operating the craft.
It may also be possible to claim that the airplane or helicopter itself was not working properly because it hadn't been inspected. If the plane had been inspected, it may be possible to argue that it was inspected improperly or that any replacement parts used were not meant for the craft that you were in that crashed.
By proving that another party was negligent in your case, it increases the odds that you get compensated for your medical bills, your lost wages and your lost earnings. Compensation may also be available to pay for mental or emotional pain and suffering in addition to any physical pain that you may have felt.
