Fatal Plane Crash Statistics

Traveling by plane is faster and safer than driving or riding the train, yet airline crashes are often fatal or badly hurt passengers. Planes commonly crash owing to equipment failures, design defects, poor repair or maintenance, pilot error, or delays in air traffic control, rather than just falling from the sky.

Even while airline crashes are more uncommon than vehicle or train mishaps, they are more common than you may imagine. In 2012, over 1,500 aviation accidents in the United States alone.

According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the number of people who died in civil aviation increased from 395 in 2018 to 452 in 2019. In 2019, all but eight of the 452 passengers died on board. Four persons died as a result of commercial airlines.

Even though plane crashes frequently result in serious injuries and deaths, persons involved and their families are entitled to compensation for their losses due to the accident.

Plane and helicopter accidents are complicated, and the families of those killed or injured require the services of an attorney who is versed in aviation law and aviation-related matters.
