According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) the number of people using air travel is expected to continue to increase. But as air traffic increases, so does the risk of an aviation accident. Generally, aircraft travel is considered to be a safe means of transportation and airplane accidents are less common then traffic accidents. But, in those circumstances where accidents do occur, they often result in fatalities. Less serious accidents involving smaller private aircraft are more frequent than people realize, mostly because many of these airline incidents go unreported.
After such a crash, the airline usually moves quickly, calling the immediate family to issue what they call “condolence payments”, “financial assistance”, or “advance payments” to help cover funeral expenses and immediate needs. Don’t agree to accept full and final settlement. Don’t make important financial decisions based on emotions. There is no hurry to quickly conclude these matters. Because, when you sign an advance payment check, you might also be signing away your rights.
