Delta Offers $30,000 to Passengers on Plane That Crashed in Toronto

Delta Air Lines offered $30,000 to each passenger of Flight 4819, which crashed and flipped upside down while landing in Toronto, with all 80 people surviving and most injuries not life-threatening. Passengers are considering seeking compensation, as international treaties require airlines to make advance payments to cover immediate economic needs in case of injury or death, with such payments not admitting liability and being deducted from any future compensation won in a lawsuit. Other airlines, such as Asiana Airlines and Alaska Airlines, have made similar payment offers after accidents to ensure passengers’ immediate needs are taken care of.
