Aviation expert witness post by Sam C.
When you take to the air, you are quite literally putting your life in the hands of the pilots and of the technicians. You are trusting that the aircraft has been built to the standard expected, and that the pilots control the flight of the aircraft in the safest and most appropriate manner possible. Fortunately, airplanes and helicopters and other types of aircraft are nearly always perfectly constructed, and perform all of their journeys without problems. However, there are some occasions where something goes badly wrong, and it causes the vehicle to malfunction and can cause them to crash in the most extreme of cases.
As a passenger or even as a pilot of a plane, you would hope that nobody would intentionally do something that would cause the aircraft to fail. Obviously there have been cases where passengers on board have caused the airplane to crash, but the majority of crashes are due to mistakes made in the production of the plane, or mistakes made in the flight path or execution of the flight on board. In these cases, it is more likely that the negligence of somebody involved in the plane’s production or the negligence of somebody involved in the flight itself caused the aircraft to fail and crash. For this reason, aviation expert witnesses are required to provide their expertise in a litigation claim.
Aviation expert witnesses are specialists in the field of aviation; they know all of the procedures that should have been taken when the aircraft was constructed, as well as during the pre-flight checks and whilst they are in the air. They provide the litigation support as well as providing testimony in court. These people are leading experts in their field and they are excellent consultants if you are considering a referral for a court case. They are recognised as having a significant authority in court as they have more knowledge on the subject than any other person, so these expert witnesses are certainly a necessity if you are planning on launching a successful claim.
Compensation is something that many people may feel they are entitled to, but without the expertise of an expert witness it is unlikely that you are going to know for sure whether you are entitled to a claim or not. It is therefore vital that you get a referral from an aviation expert witness as well as getting their advice before launching a claim.
