If you have been injured in an aviation accident at an air show, you should contact an aviation accident attorney as soon as possible. If you have a loved one that was injured in an air show accident and that loved one cannot contact an aviation accident attorney, you may contact the aviation accident attorney on your loved one’s behalf.
An aviation accident at an air show is potential risk because of the equipment and crowds involved. If the plane crashes, the pilots are not the only ones who are injured. Audience proximity puts them at risk, and other pilots could be harmed.
Pyrotechnic displays are typically approached with great caution by the event organizers, complete with many safety measures designed to ensure everyone’s protection. Though, human error or malfunctioning equipment are a possibility, potentially resulting injury or death.
Though rare, the possible severity of injury makes aviation accidents at air shows something to be taken seriously.
