Personal Injury Law

Federal investigators are currently examining the site of a Butte, Montana plane crash that killed 14 people over the weekend. The private plane was traveling from Redlands, California to Bozeman, Montana with stopovers in Vacaville and Oroville, California. During the flight, the plane got rerouted to Butte.

The plane crashed into a cemetery about 500 feet before it would have reached the runway at Butte's Bert Mooney Airport. There were no injuries to people on the ground nearby, but 14 people on the plane died.

There was very little evidence left at the crash site to help determine its cause. The plane nosedived directly into the ground, bursting into flames and setting nearby trees on fire.

The weather does not seem to have been a factor. The plane crash occurred on a clear day. It is still uncertain whether the plane contained voice or data recorders that could shed better insight into the causes.

It is important to consult an experienced plane crash lawyer if you have a loved one who died in an airplane accident. You may be eligible to receive compensation for your loss.
