Air traffic controllers may be the most important component of air travel. In a sense, they are the true eyes of the pilots that transport us over thousands of miles. Air traffic controllers are meant to notify pilots of any hazards in the air and the proper and safe flight paths, among other things. When they fail to carry out their duties, thousands of lives can be put at risk as they are 35,000 feet in the air. If you or a loved one has been in an accident due to air traffic controller negligence, contact us for a free consultation to see if you may be entitled to compensation.
Air traffic controllers must be on high alert as they are working so that they can spot any potential hazards in the sky and properly judge and advise pilots during their flight. A large factor that may cause air traffic controller negligence is fatigue. It may be due to overtime shifts or the fact that they are, on their own, unprepared to work. Also, staffing shortages may mean that not enough people can tend to the needs of the pilots. This causes workers to perform at suboptimal levels, which is very dangerous in such an occupation of such high-stakes.
Any resulting accidents are all very high-stakes since one mistake can cause thousands of people to crash in an airplane disaster. A pilot may need help due to bad weather, unexpected conditions in traffic, or human error. It is the controllers’ job to assist them in how to proceed to mitigate any risk. The air traffic controllers may be negligent by failing to report a hazard in the sky, falling asleep on the job and missing emergency pilot correspondence, or falsely informing pilots.
These cases are based on negligence, which is determined by finding if the other party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty of care, your injuries directly resulted from their actions, and you suffered actual damages and losses. In these cases, the air traffic controllers will have displayed negligence if an accident occurs that was reasonably foreseeable by a worker had they been doing their job properly. Consult one of our attorneys to help you determine the liability and if you have a case. We can help you get fairly compensated for the damages that you endured from this accident.
