LATAM Airlines Flight Injury Lawyer

What Caused the Violent Movement Injuring So Many Passengers?

Pinpointing definitive root causes behind in-air incidents requires meticulous investigation by qualified experts and authorities like the NTSB. However, some potential factors typically explored include:

• Severe turbulence encounters – While turbulence causes some routine jostling, extreme “clear air” or weather turbulence can violently throw unrestrained passengers and objects if not properly braced for impact. Crew failure to warn flyers could constitute negligence.

• Mechanical or system malfunctions – Problems with key airplane components like engines, landing gear, pressurization units, or flight control surfaces may have led to abrupt altitude changes, steep banks, extreme speed variations, and other radical aircraft movements.

• Human piloting errors – Accidents can stem from poor crew judgments, incorrect inputs into automated systems, failure to respond to warning indicators, or gaps in training to handle certain contingencies.

• Design or manufacturing defects – Inherent flaws or quality control issues impacting airliner structural integrity, material resilience, and aerodynamics magnify risks of encountering upset conditions.

Independent agencies will scrutinize data like cockpit voice recordings, flight path mapping, maintenance logs, crew communications, meteorological info, passenger testimony, and more to unravel mishap specifics. Our attorneys collaborate with aviation specialists interpreting evidence to identify potential liability by LATAM or others.

Were Proper Safety Protocols Followed Regarding Turbulence?

Federal aviation regulations specify explicit protocols airlines must comply with regarding turbulence encounters and passenger safety:

• Providing timely turbulence warnings and instructions to fasten seatbelts

• Halting service cart movements and securing loose items

• Verifying all passengers remain seated with seatbelts fastened

• Restricting access to lavatories during episodes

• Maintaining proper cruising speeds and altitudes to avoid unnecessary stresses

• Monitoring forecasts and adjusting routes to circumvent turbulent zones when possible

• Recording all incidents, injuries, altitude/speed deviations in logbooks

Violations of these mandates can indicate negligence by aircrew. Likewise, failing to adhere to turbulence-specific aircraft operating manuals and procedures for various situations like altitude overshoots, upset attitudes, etc. may demonstrate lapses in crew resource management.

Our legal team investigates every angle exhaustively including interviewing crew, obtaining enhanced meteorological data, and examining cockpit voice/flight data recorder transcripts to assess whether LATAM followed all applicable safety rules and industry best practices.

How Long Do I Have to Take Legal Action After an Injury?

In most jurisdictions, personal injury lawsuits stemming from aviation accidents like this one face strict time limitations known as statutes of limitations. These deadlines govern how long victims have to formally file claims before losing their legal rights to compensation permanently.

While specifics vary by state and case circumstances, the timeframes to initiate litigation generally range from 1-3 years from the date injuries first manifested symptoms or were diagnosed. Claims filed beyond these cutoffs get dismissed outright regardless of merits.

However, additional exceptions and nuances could apply for factors like:

• Injuries to minors granting extended deadlines

• Unseen injuries remaining undiscovered for extended periods

• Legal disabilities like being comatose or without mental capacity temporarily stalling clocks

• If crashes occurred internationally, alternate “choice of law” principles would impact time limits

To avoid even risking a time-barred dismissal on technicalities, we urge all injured LATAM passengers to contact our aviation attorneys immediately for case evaluations. Once retained, we rapidly initiate all formal filings and submissions to preserve every single legal right before critical deadlines elapse.

Time is truly of the essence after injuries are sustained – delaying consultations risks irreparably compromising otherwise meritorious claims through no fault of your own. Securing our representation eliminates risks around statutes altogether.
