Aviation accidents, while relatively rare compared to other forms of transportation, can result in catastrophic injuries and fatalities. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), there were 1,216 accidents involving U.S. registered civilian aircraft in 2023, resulting in 327 deaths. In 2024, there were 179 fatal aviation crashes in the United States, claiming 306 lives. While commercial scheduled air travel remains among the safest modes of transportation—with major airlines experiencing zero onboard fatalities and a fatal accident rate of 0.0 per 100,000 flight hours in 2023—general aviation accidents continue to pose significant risks.
Negligence, on the part of an individual(s) or corporation(s), can be a major, contributing factor to an airplane crash. Unsecured food and beverage carts, negligent actions of flight attendants, and sudden loss of cabin pressure can cause flight injuries. Accident victims who sustain fatal or serious injuries due to an aircraft that fails to function properly may be eligible to seek compensation for injuries sustained.
