Can Passengers Injured in the Toronto Delta Air Lines Crash Seek Compensation? - Nelligan Law

Once lawyers get involved that $30K offer will become higher, plus it will most likely be quickly settled out of court.
Airliners dont want the bad PR that comes with these lawsuits
Class-action??
You don't know that. They could fight it and get little or nothing. Pilot error might change all that though, which I believe it is. If it's weather related they should take the money. The fact they are offering so quickly might mean there is a shit storm coming for them.
Airlines are in court all the time. The reality is is that plane crashes happen and a week later something else happens in the world and they're all but forgotten about.
The $30k is being offered with no strings attached, without prejudice and you don't have to sign a release. Airlines often make this offer at this time as a goodwill gesture to help offset any out of pocket, incopnvenience that the money can help you through. Like missing work, missing your connecting flight to a vacation, to visit friends, have someone visit you or even wanting to take some time off work.
As for class action. That type of process is not really used in these cases. They are more used for widespread price fixing or systemic problems etc. In this case, each person may have doiffereng losses. Personal injury lawyers will usually work on a 30% contingency success fee. Class action lawyers tend to find a lead plaintiff as a name, then search out how many might me members of the class. And then they sue.... and take most of the settlement!
If I wasn’t hurt, I would take the great story, the 30k, and call it a day. No lawyers, no bullshit delays, etc. Just an extra 30K now.
I think its a lowball offer. Sue for $200,000, and settle for $100-150K minimum
Airline companies get sued all the time.

Each passenger should take their 30K and use it to retain a criminal injury lawyer. Endeavor Air clearly puts woke culture ahead of safety by prioritizing making toxic femininity, anti male, tik-toc videos.
This airline needs to be sued into insolvency and permanently grounded, and jail time served!

Why? I don’t need or want “millions”. I’m not lacking in money. If I wasn’t hurt, this would simply be a bonus and I can move on with a cool story.
Let other people go through the years-long battle and legal expenses. I couldn't care less.
EDIT: If I was tempted to get a little more I would counter with double, possibly have them come back at an even 50k. I'm sure I could do as you said, but again - I have been through law suits for personal injury. It is not as simple as a crash happened so you get paid millions or even hundreds of thousands. You will have to prove injury in court. Compare it to compensation paid to others in other law suits of similar injury, and it will take years. I can negotiate for 50k easy on my own. No lawyers fees, sign a release and be done in a week. Easy peasy.

Why settle for 30K if you can get 200k??
And didn't you say you lived in a trailer park??
If you settle for 200k you can finally have a downpayment for a nice house, or condo
No. My trailer is a vacation home. And it is called a trailer (Park Home) but it is much more of a home then a trailer. I have my boat docked ready to go, nice piece of property, etc. LOL. It's the perfect vacation spot that is only an hour and half away. I don't have to fly. LOL.
I don't "live" there tho. I have a house. LOL. I choose to stay there basically 6 months out of the year, during the "trailer" season because it is a beautiful spot to “vacation” and just chill fishing, kayaking, etc. Think reverse “snowbird”.
And I don't want a condo. Fuck that.
I made an edit to what you had said about 200K. Again, it is not worth the time and hassles of courts, lawyers, damages hearings, etc. I don't need the money. Or a new house or anything. I actually want to downsize. I don't need the cash. Some do and for them, sure go for it but for me personally - I'm good.

Its a pain in the ass.
On top of being a pain in the head from the crash. lmao.
Yeah, she'd already said that and then Phil asked her again.
It is sometimes hard for people to believe that someone else does not require money like most do. Even harder to believe that someone doesn’t want a bunch of money for no reason.
It's not a hassle at all.
Lawyer does almost all the work, and these types of lawsuits usually settle within 2 to 3 years max.
Especially if they're high profile

American passengers in Canadian hospitals will have to pay for the care. If they are insured under an American health plan we should charge a %50 tariff.
OHIP won’t be covering these costs at all for Ontario residents either. All personal injury claims have a subrogated claim on behalf of OHIP for medical expenses. The only exemption is for auto accidents.
But for any personal injury claim, you have to add it and recover the costs for OHIP and send OHIP the money before you get yours.
FFS, if being stupid were criminal you'd be serving a life sentence. (We don't have the death penalty in Canada)
