Information About Airplane Accidents and Injuries
Air traffic is projected to double over the next 20 years, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). With the increase in air traffic comes an increase in the risks associated with air travel. While air travel is considered to be a safe method of transportation, just like any other industry, accidents do happen.
Due to the nature of air travel, there may be very little that an individual can do to protect himself or herself from risk, including brain injury, property damage, or death.
When accidents happen in air travel, members of the airline industry are generally responsible for repairing or rectifying any damage. These legally liable parties vary based on the nature of each accident, but may include the operator or owner of the aircraft as well as the federal government, maintenance crew, and even the manufacturer.

That's why it is common for injured parties to receive pre-trial and out-of-court settlements from the responsible parties in order to avoid publicity.
