Legal experts weigh in on Delta's $30,000 'no strings attached' payment to passengers after crash-landing incident
Briefly

Delta Air Lines is offering $30,000 to each passenger from a flight that crash-landed in Toronto, with all 80 on board surviving. The airline emphasized that this goodwill gesture does not affect passengers' rights to further compensation. Legal experts mention that while this payment is typical in aviation incidents, victims should consult attorneys before accepting to verify there are no hidden terms. The payouts are non-taxable in most cases, ensuring that the passengers' financial interests are safeguarded while they process the incident.
The $30,000 advance payment offer by Delta is a good start in the right direction, as long as passengers do not have to give up any of their rights for full and fair compensation in the future.
Such payments are fairly typical in major aviation accidents. Passengers should consult with an aviation attorney before accepting the money to ensure it comes with no strings attached.
