To begin I hope all the occupants of the plane fully recover from the accident. The thing about plane wrecks is an investigation into their cause could take months to complete. This presents a particular problem to any prospective plaintiffs as preservation of evidence becomes exponentially more difficult the longer the time from the initial event. The burden of this delay could be supplemented with a third party investigation that will conduct the residual legwork while the FAA examines the accident.
Much like commercial vehicle accidents plane wrecks could involve a number of liable parties. Most notably when a plane goes down service records should be checked against the plane to ensure that an owner was diligent in maintaining upkeep. Radar data and witness testimony when they recover will go a long way also in recreating the scenario that took down the plane and identifying any potential liability.
