Drones have become a common sight in today’s world, used for everything from recreational flying to professional photography and delivery services. However, with their growing presence comes an increase in accidents and injuries. If you or a loved one has been harmed in a drone-related incident, Go Big Injury Law is here to help you seek the justice and compensation you deserve.
Common Injuries Caused by Drones
Drone accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, depending on the circumstances. Some of the most common include:
- Cuts and Lacerations: Drone propellers can cause significant cuts, especially if the drone makes direct contact with a person.
- Head and Face Trauma: Falling drones or those flying out of control can strike individuals, causing head injuries or facial trauma.
- Eye Injuries: Collisions involving drones can damage the eyes, sometimes leading to permanent vision loss.
- Fractures: A falling or crashing drone can cause broken bones, particularly if it hits a person at high speed.
- Burns and Fire Injuries: In rare cases, drones with malfunctioning batteries can catch fire, posing a risk of burns.
- Emotional and Psychological Impact: Beyond physical harm, the shock and distress of a drone accident can leave victims dealing with emotional challenges.
Types of Drone-Related Accidents
Drone accidents can occur in a variety of settings and involve different factors. Some of the most frequent types include:
- Recreational Accidents: Hobbyists or recreational drone users may lose control, leading to accidents in parks, neighborhoods, or other public areas.
- Malfunctioning Equipment: Defective hardware or software issues can cause drones to crash unexpectedly.
- Commercial Drone Incidents: Drones used for deliveries, inspections, or photography may interfere with bystanders, vehicles, or property.
- Privacy Violations Leading to Confrontations: Drones equipped with cameras sometimes invade private spaces, leading to altercations or injuries.
- Vehicle Collisions: In some cases, a drone striking a car or distracting a driver can contribute to a serious car accident.
Determining Liability in Drone-Related Incidents
When a drone-related injury occurs, identifying who is responsible is an essential step in seeking compensation. Liability may rest with one or more of the following parties:
- Drone Operators: The person flying the drone may be held accountable if their negligence or reckless behavior caused the accident.
- Manufacturers: If a drone’s design or components were defective and led to an accident, the company responsible for producing or selling the drone could be liable.
- Property Owners or Event Organizers: If the accident occurred in a location where proper precautions weren’t taken to ensure safety, those in charge of the area could share responsibility.
At Go Big Injury Law, we conduct a thorough investigation of your case to determine who should be held accountable and work to build a compelling claim on your behalf.
