What Compensation May Be Needed After an Airline Accident?

In the U.S. over a one-month period in 2000, reports compiled by a computer search performed on 2,300 publications worldwide, the Associated Press wire, and aviation databases found there was at least one safety-related accident, incident, or threat reported, 20 out of 35 emergency landings worldwide were made by U.S. airlines, and most airline incidents went unreported.

As you know, if you suffer a personal injury you'll likely require medical attention and may need rehabilitation, both of which cost money. You may lose income (and/or have to use up "sick time") because of the injury, and while treatment and recovery takes place. You may have sustained property damage to your car and other property. As you can't drive your vehicle while it is being repaired, you may have to rent one, and car repairs and rentals can cost money. You may lose the ability to perform various activities of normal daily living, for a while or long term. You may endure pain and suffering.

The law permits you to seek recovery after an accident to "make you whole again." The central concept is that you should be compensated in a manner that, as best as the law can arrange, places you back in the same position as you were before the accident. In addition to normal compensatory damages designed to make someone whole, in extreme cases "punitive damages" may be available if the injury was the result of someone else's reckless or irresponsible behavior, or if the cause of the accident or the extent of the injury was caused by something about the car that is dangerous - a defective product - that the manufacturer should have corrected.
