Seattle WA Aviation Accidents and Safety
If Aviation Accidents Happen, You Will Want An Attorney At Your Side
Whenever we step on a plane, all we’re thinking about is our destination. We never truly stop to think of the potential risks associated with air travel. But whether we’re on a commercial airplane, commuter plane, or air taxi aircraft, the reality is that an accident is always a possibility.
Unfortunately, victims of a plane crash are often left in the dark when it comes to their rights. And as a result, they will seldom look for legal counsel when injured in aircraft accidents.
Private Planes Are Nearly As Deadly As Cars
While statistics show a 75 percent drop in total deaths associated with general aviation accidents, plane accident rates remain basically the same, with one death per every 100,000 hours.
Because many in the public are unaware of the risks, they will often believe that they much safer if they travel by plane. With the demand for air travel increasing in the upcoming decades, we should expect to see a great deal more accidents as well. Unfortunately, that might mean that more victims will end up feeling cornered, not knowing whether they should just trust the companies behind these planes.
With the help of an aviation accident attorney, a victim is able to assess his or her situation. He or she will also learn whether they are entitled compensation.
