The man and woman, both GoJump Oceanside employees, were taken to the hospital, where the woman was pronounced dead.

An airplane accident can put your life in jeopardy, but flying can be convenient at times.

Human error by the pilot, corporate negligence, FAA rule violations, and mechanical problems are just a few of the many possible causes of a plane crash.

The manufacturers of planes and cars can sell only safe modes of transportation. When defective planes or parts of planes cause harm, the manufacturer may be held liable. Product liability is the legal term for this type of responsibility.

Plane and helicopter accidents can be extremely complicated, and the families of those killed or injured need an attorney who is knowledgeable about aviation law and aviation-related issues to represent them.
