Planes allow us to travel distances in a day that would have been virtually impossible by any other means of travel. Commercial flights can be a gateway to a tropical vacation, a business trip, and everything else in between. There is an inherent risk, however, with traveling at high speeds thirty thousand feet in the air. While flight is statistically one of the safest modes of travel available, it is not without its risks. It has been reported by the The National Transportation Safety Board that there were 1,649 civilian aviation accidents that resulted in 564 deaths last year. A large portion of these accidents were the result of small, private aircraft that might have a more difficult time handling high winds, turbulence, storms, or lightning.

Tragically, it seems as if 2015 will continue in line with these statistics as a small personal plane recently crashed in a Texas field, resulting in one death. A single-engine Piper PA-46 was approaching Preston Smith International Airport when it crashed at around 7:30 p.m. on February, 4th. As it was falling from the sky, the plane hit the KCBD radio station’s transmitter tower. The plane did significant damage to the building and tower, but fortunately no one from KCBD was injured. The plane then crashed into a nearby field. The building is still not safe to enter, and the crash is still being investigated by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.

Far too frequently, small private aircraft are piloted by individuals who are less experienced than your typical commercial pilot, sometimes leading to mistakes and catastrophic accidents. Plane accidents have a massive capacity for harm, due to the speeds and heights that accompany flight. The National Transportation Safety Board has reported that, in 2008 alone, there were 1,649 civilian aviation accidents that resulted in 564 deaths. Plane crashes tragically result in serious harm or death to those aboard.

Despite these statistics, seven-year old Sailor Gutzier was miraculously able to survive a plane crash and walk to safety. Sailor and her family were flying in a Piper PA-34, bound for Florida, when they reportedly experienced engine problems, resulting in the plane crashing in Lyon County, Kentucky. Tragically, Sailor’s parents, sister and cousin all died upon impact. Badly bruised and cut, Sailor was able to climb out of the wreckage and walk, by herself, for nearly a mile in freezing temperatures and dense forest, with no jacket or shoes. Sailor was eventually able to find a home. She told its occupants what had occurred, and she has just recently been released from a nearby hospital without any serious injures.

Experts still cannot explain how she was able to avoid any serious bodily harm, but it is still a tragic instance nevertheless. Sailor lost most of her family in the crash, and has clearly been through a traumatic and emotional ordeal. For not all scars are physical.

Every driver is expected to drive his or her car in a careful, considerate manner. Driving has become a norm of daily activity in Massachusetts and throughout America. Each and every time one of us gets behind the wheel, we are responsible for our actions. Even parties not present at the scene of a car accident may be responsible for serious injuries or even death resulting from a car collision. For example, if a car’s manufacturer is found to have negligently assembled or designed a part of the vehicle, they may be held liable for the injuries caused or worsened by their negligence.

William Ziemer was seriously injured in a car collision caused by another driver crossing the center line of the road and then crashing directly into his car. The front driver’s side of his Nissan Maxima was severely damaged, causing Mr. Ziemer to suffer a catastrophic brain injury. As a result of the collision, he has permanent impairment to his cognitive functions and is unable to walk. Despite being only forty-five years old at the time of the accident, Mr. Ziemer is no longer able to effectively travel on his own and now has the mental capabilities of a child.

Mr. Ziemer filed a lawsuit arguing that Nissan negligently designed his vehicle. Specifically,  the car, when met with force, allows more intrusion into the driver’s seat than comparable models. This defect, he argued, severely aggravated his injuries. During the trial, it was shown that a similar version of his vehicle was sold in Europe, but with extra reinforcements and safety features.

These reinforcements, according to trial experts, would have been far more effective in protecting Mr. Ziemer from the results of the collision and may have prevented his brain damage altogether. Product liability attorney Cynthia A. Walters of Short Hills, NJ, argued that the car was defective. This was because of its crashworthiness deficiencies stemming from design elements that permitted an unreasonable degree of intrusion into the driver compartment. The jury agreed, and awarded $3.5 million for Ziemer’s loss of enjoyment of life and pain and suffering, $4.2 million for future care and medical costs, $1.2 million in lost wages, $2.5 million for his wife, and $1 million for each of his children.
