Helicopters are extraordinary machines with great maneuverability, making them extremely useful in the oil industry. However, they are complicated to fly, as well as to design, construct and maintain. Because of their complexity, many times a component may fail. When this happens, the results can be deadly. To determine the actual failure after a crash requires experienced aviation experts. The lawyers at Neblett, Beard & Arsenault have worked closely with these experts in previous helicopter crash cases to effectively establish the cause of the accident, even in situations where the helicopter is non-retrievable.
There are many reasons for helicopter accidents, including:
- Product design
- Deficient maintenance
- Pilot error
- Poor heli-pad designs
- Contaminated fuel systems
- Improper aircraft inspection
Regardless of the cause, a helicopter crash case requires a law firm well-versed in Maritime Law. Many crashes involving oil workers are covered under maritime regulations, and the type of benefits and requirements for proving negligence are different than those involving other accidents or collisions.
If you or a loved one has been hurt in a helicopter crash, the Helicopter Crash lawyers at Neblett, Beard & Arsenault can help.
