While dramatic crashes involving commercial passenger airlines rarely happen, aviation accidents are more common than you might think.
Most plane accidents involve small planes that are referred to as “general aviation aircraft.” General aviation aircraft is a broad term that encompasses all civilian planes that are not commercial passenger planes. As of 2021, about 204,405 general aviation aircraft were registered across the United States.
These are the types of smaller planes that are more likely to be operated by less experienced pilots than commercial aircraft.
Examples include:
According to statistics published by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), 210 fatal airplane accidents were reported in the U.S. in 2021. 344 people were killed. Another 946 non-fatal airplane accidents were reported nationwide.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Colorado airports serve 21,999 pilots and 6,924 registered aircraft. Unfortunately, flying through the Rocky Mountains can be particularly dangerous. By some reports, Colorado is the fifth-most dangerous U.S. state for aircraft. In 2021 alone, 45 aviation accidents were reported statewide–and eight of those crashes were fatal.
Cases tend to be worth the most when injuries are permanent or catastrophic. However, every situation is different. You deserve an attorney who will carefully evaluate your case to document your losses.
The value of your specific case will depend on multiple factors, including:

Plane accident victims are entitled to seek compensation for every dollar they spend because of the harm they have suffered.
Economic damages are your financial costs, such as:
You can also pursue compensation for non-economic losses.
Non-economic damages are the non-financial losses that you experience due to an injury, including:
Colorado law caps the amount of non-economic damages you can recover unless the court finds clear evidence to justify an increase.
Someone may try to blame you for your own injuries. Under Colorado comparative negligence laws, you lose your right to compensation once your share of fault reaches 50%. If you are less than 50% responsible but do share some blame, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Cases involving shared negligence are rarely cut and dry. If someone is blaming you, calling an experienced lawyer is the best thing you can do to protect yourself.

While accidents can happen at any stage of a flight, the majority of plane accidents occur during takeoff and landing. That said, many different factors can play a role in causing a crash.
Some of the most common causes of airplane accidents include:
Identifying the cause of your plane accident is the first step toward determining who is legally responsible for your damages. Once you know why your accident happened, you’ll have the information to identify the parties who were liable.
The statute of limitations in most Colorado personal injury cases is two years. Under state law, if you don’t file a lawsuit within two years of the plane accident, you lose your right to compensation.
The two-year deadline only applies if your case is governed by state law. It’s also possible that federal laws could apply in your case–meaning that a different deadline could apply. You will also have less time if a government agency is a defendant in your case.
Our aviation accident attorneys in Denver are here to help you preserve your right to compensation. Whether you were injured in an airplane crash or helicopter accident, call us today to learn more about the statute of limitations in your specific case.
