Airplane and Public Transportation Accidents
All types of public transportation carriers, ranging from subways to airplanes, report many accidents each year. Many of these accidents are the result of misconduct or negligence by the owners or operators. Others are the result of defective equipment. Whatever the cause, such accidents can result in multiple deaths and catastrophic injuries.
