Delta Air Lines has announced it will provide $30,000 to each victim of the Delta Connection flight 4819 crash that occurred at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The decision comes as authorities continue to investigate the incident, which saw the regional jet flip upside down upon landing, injuring 21 of the 80 people on board but resulting in no fatalities.
The plan is to offer $30,000 to each of the 80 individuals on board, 76 passengers and 4 crew members. This five-figure sum aims to cover immediate expenses and provide financial relief to victims dealing with medical costs, travel disruptions, and emotional distress following the crash.
Victims and their families have expressed gratitude for Delta’s compensation offer, though some are awaiting further details on additional support. Some of the the victims are looking for things such as long-term medical care or psychological services. Legal experts suggest the $30,000 payment may be just the beginning, as lawsuits or further claims could arise depending on the investigation’s findings.
