Sorry, I'm not sure what you're describing, are you referring to just the FBW Airbus accidents that were outside of Normal Law ore are you saying that all FBW Airbus accidents happened outside of Normal Law? (if so, they didn't)
In any case, please give us a couple of examples, because I know the investigative agencies don't tend to use "pilot error" anymore in their reports - in fact in the case of BEA investigations, they're not allowed to attribute responsibility at all.
If you're referring to how the press report these things, then that's just down to lazy journalism.
Memory again .. the only time alternate law saves lives is the crash of the Hudson
Alternate Law doesn't save or take lives, it's just a reconfiguration mode for degraded systems, similar to what the Flight Engineer used to do in the days of 3-crew cockpits.
