Florida Aviation Lawyers Can Represent You

Florida Aviation Lawyers Can Represent You

While aviation accidents are relatively rare, when they do occur, the results can be tragic.

Recent statistics indicate that these accidents increased in 2018, despite recent efforts by regulators and industry groups to enhance safety systems on private planes and emphasize practical and theoretical skills for new pilots.

• From 2017 to 2018, U.S. civil aviation deaths increased from 347 to 393, a disappointing reversal of previous declines in both commercial aviation and small plane accident fatalities.
• The aviation industry’s first airline passenger fatality in nine years occurred in 2018 when a Southwest Airline passenger was killed in connection with an engine failure.
• In announcing the statistics, National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Robert L. Sumwalt warned that aviators “need to renew their emphasis on building and sustaining a safety culture, and recipients of our safety recommendations in this area need to implement those life-saving recommendations.”

Television viewers may be mesmerized by footage of aviation disasters, but their concern fades as the media moves on to other stories. For victims and their families, fatalities and serious injuries caused by aviation accidents have a devastating effect forever.
