Tragic Airplane Crash Statistics

Flying in airplanes is a good example. You’d think that all you had to do was figure out the numbers—the odds—and that was the end of it. The average American has a 1 in 11 million chance of dying in a plane crash each year. On that basis, the risk appears to be low. When compared to the average American’s annual risk of being killed in a car accident, which is about 1 in 5,000, this is a significant difference.

In 2019, there were 1,302 accidents involving civilian aircraft registered in the United States, down from 1,347 in 2018. In 2018, there were 395 fewer deaths in civil aviation than in 2019. All but eight of the 452 people who died in 2019 were on a ship. An airliner crash was responsible for four of the fatalities.

Human error on the part of the pilot, corporate negligence, violations of Federal Aviation Administration regulations, and mechanical failures are all possible causes of a crash.

The law requires plane manufacturers, like automakers, to sell only safe modes of transportation. The manufacturer of defective planes (or defective parts within the plane) may be held liable for injuries. This type of liability is referred to as “product liability.” A product liability claim is sometimes only a small part of a larger case.

Refugio County Airplane Crash Accident Lawyer for Injured Victims

Different laws may apply depending on where and under what circumstances an airplane crash occurred. Various commanding agencies, commercial airline personnel, and even passengers may be held partially or completely responsible for crashes. Aviation accidents can also be blamed on maintenance crews, air traffic controllers, airplane owners, and parts manufacturers. An airline accident lawyer can assist you in determining fault and pursuing compensation for your losses.

Another factor to consider is that plane crashes frequently result in multiple injuries. As a result, it may be advantageous for a plaintiff to connect with other aviation accident victims in order to file a class-action lawsuit. However, if other plaintiffs, for example, make ill-advised representation decisions, you may want to seek independent private counsel from an aviation lawyer.

Because of the high stakes and high stakes involved in aviation accident cases, the resulting legal battles can drag on for years, if not decades, in the public eye. Understanding the root causes and long-term consequences of airline accidents can be a difficult and frustrating task.
