What to Do if You Suspect Mechanical Failure in a Robinson Helicopter Company Crash?

Some of the potential causes of helicopter crashes may include the following:

• Pilot error (failing to perform pre-flight checks, operating the aircraft without the proper license, operating the aircraft under the influence of drugs or alcohol, choosing to operate the helicopter in dangerous weather, etc.)
• Manufacturing defects (any defect may lead to failures in-flight)
• A lack of maintenance or repairs (leading to issues or failures during flights)
• Negligent maintenance/repairs (not fully correcting the issue or creating another issue)
• Dangerous weather conditions
• And more

Without a doubt, mechanical failures during flights can lead to dangerous helicopter accidents. These accidents can lead to extensive injuries, cause permanent disability, and are often fatal. Mechanical failures in helicopters can be attributed to manufacturing defects (specifically the negligence of the company) as well as negligence during repairs/maintenance – or a complete disregard for necessary maintenance.

• Manufacturing defects – defects of design, manufacturing, assembly, etc. can create issues mid-flight, causing crashes. Examples of possible deficits may include undetected cracks in hinges or hubs, defective rotor systems, cracks in blades, and more.
• No maintenance or repairs – helicopter owners or operators may skip inspections and important maintenance or repairs. Therefore, dangerous conditions may go overlooked, resulting in critical failures during takeoff, landing, or mid-flight.
• Negligent maintenance or repairs – crews may act recklessly while performing maintenance or repairs on these aircrafts. They may fail to repair the issue or may create additional issues during the repair/maintenance, resulting in mid-flight incidents.

Manufacturing defects as well as issues with maintenance or repairs could lead to mechanical failures, which could directly cause helicopter crashes. If the incident that resulted in your injuries or in the death of your loved one was caused by mechanical failures, you could potentially have the right to sue.

Yes, based on the details surrounding the incident, the following parties or entities could be sued:

• Robinson Helicopter Company (or another helicopter manufacturer if a different company is involved)
• The owner/operator of the aircraft (this could be the same party/entity or multiple entities)
• The maintenance or repair crews that worked on the aircraft before the incident occurred

In some cases, multiple of these parties/entities could share responsibility for the incident, meaning that they can be sued. For more information about your right to file a claim, it is important that you seek legal help as soon as possible.

After an incident, it is important that victims and their families follow a number of recommendations to ensure that they can prepare to pursue a claim, such as gathering all medical records, gathering photo and video evidence, gathering reports, and more.
