Planes crash more often than we know
I was reading a book on the JFK family the other day, was pretty surprised to find out so many members in the JFK family have died in plane crashes. I thought that was because they flew more often and therefore the probability of encountering plane crashes was higher.
Though plane and helicopter crashes may not happen everyday, it seems they happened frequent enough to have lawyers who specialize in aviation law. Statistical report by the National Transportation Board actually showed that there are more than one thousand of aviation accidents and hundreds of fatalities in the US every year.
I am sure most of the survivors or next-of-kin of the victims would be seeking compensation from parties that are potentially liable for the crashes. Most lay person would properly need to engage an aviation lawyer to identify the party or parties liable for the accident and therefore determining all possible claims. Tragedy of any kind will be heart wrenching, a good lawyer who takes care of the nitty-gritty would have made a lot of grieving parties a little less burdened.
