Hayden Dillard among five killed in Hays County plane crash

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

As the investigation continues, officials will evaluate whether additional factors contributed to the plane crash. In aviation accidents, causes can include pilot error, mechanical malfunction, or defects in aircraft design or manufacturing.

The NTSB typically releases a report identifying the cause or causes of a crash, and these findings often serve as key evidence in related legal actions. Candice Bond, an experienced aviation attorney, noted that it is crucial for families to ensure a thorough and independent investigation is conducted to safeguard their rights.

“Plane crashes are often complex, and many factors can play a role in these types of accidents,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“An attorney can advocate for a grieving family by hiring expert witnesses, locating witnesses to the crash, while working with the NTSB and other investigating agencies.”
