More about Defective Helicopter Accidents

Although all helicopter accidents are tragic, accidents involving defective helicopters are even more devastating because those affected the most by the incident (pilots and passengers) had no control whatsoever over what happened. A current incident involving a helicopter with a long history of defects has highlighted the importance of these aircrafts being completely free of defects.

Possible defects that could be present in helicopters like the Schweizer 269 include the following:

  • Issues with the rotors (main rotor and tail rotor) and the rotor mast
  • Issues with the engine/transmission
  • Issues with the fuel tank
  • Issues with the tail boon

Anything listed above can quickly create a very dangerous situation mid-flight. These defects are typically related to the helicopter’s design, manufacturing, and labeling (i.e., user manuals).

Helicopter Accidents: Victim Injuries and Death

Helicopter accidents can result in significant harm to all parties involved. Those affected by helicopter accidents can sustain some of the following injuries:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (head injuries, in general)
  • Fracturas de cráneo
  • Lesiones cervicales y de espalda
  • Lesiones medulares (con parálisis)
  • Lesiones por aplastamiento
  • Complex fractures throughout the body
  • Ruptured and punctured organs
  • Miembros amputados
  • Quemaduras
  • Daño nervioso
  • Disfigurement (scarring, in general)

Survivors of helicopter accidents are likely to sustain critical injuries, which can cause permanent and disabling harm. In many cases, the injuries suffered are fatal.

Liability for Helicopter Accidents Caused by Helicopter Defects

If you were injured or a member of your family died in a helicopter accident involving a defective Schweizer 269 helicopter, you might have many questions about liability and whether you could file a lawsuit. If the accident was caused by a defect present in the helicopter’s labeling, design, or manufacturing, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit – specifically, you could file a product liability lawsuit either for your injuries or for the wrongful death of a loved one.

Based on the concept of product liability, companies have a duty to ensure that their products are completely safe for consumers. Helicopter manufacturers, like Schweizer Aircraft Corporation, have a duty to ensure that their helicopters are completely free of defects before making them available to consumers. To do this, they must thoroughly inspect their products during the different stages of production to be able to identify and address any hazards present. When companies fail to address hazards in their products, incidents can occur that could lead to injuries and even death to innocent consumers. When this happens, these companies could be liable for all resulting harm. In other words, Schweizer Aircraft Corp. could be liable for the harm resulting from incidents caused by their defective Schweizer 269 helicopters.

Of course, it is possible for other parties to be liable for helicopter accidents based on the specific cause of the accident. Some of these parties could include helicopter owners (individuals and companies), maintenance companies, repair companies, private pilots, private pilot companies, pilot training companies, etc. Again, liability will be based on the specific cause of the accident – it is possible that liability is shared among multiple parties.

  • A putative spouse, putative spouse’s children, decedent’s stepchildren, or parents (only when these parties were financially dependent on the decedent)
