What Happens if My Aircraft is Involved in an Accident?

We all realize that there is risk involved in owning and operating an aircraft. Comprehensive aviation insurance policies afford substantial protection from that risk. We hope you’ll never face a situation that puts your aviation insurance to the test. But if you have a mishap from which property damage or injury result, it is helpful to understand how the aviation claims process works.

What Can Trigger a Claim?
Most aircraft insurance policies respond to two types of claims: those that involve physical damage to the insured aircraft and those resulting in legal liability that result from damaging someone else’s property or causing an injury. The details can vary from one policy to the next. 

Some of the most common types of insured damage to an aircraft result from events like these:

Hard landings
Bird or wildlife strikes
Gear-up landings
Collisions with hangars, buildings or support vehicles
Taxiing incidents
Wind, lightning, or hail storms
