The formula

How this number is built

value = present value of lost earnings + expenses + non-economic damages, scaled by flight type
Step by step

Calculating it yourself

Step 1

Preserve maintenance logs, pilot records and any recorded flight data immediately.

Step 2

Identify every potential defendant, not just the operator.

Step 3

For international flights, check whether the Montreal Convention applies and its filing deadline.

Step 4

Obtain the official investigation report, which shapes but does not decide civil liability.

Questions

What people ask next

Can I sue the manufacturer?

Yes, if a component or design contributed. Product claims frequently run alongside the operator claim.

Does the investigation report decide the case?

No. Investigation findings are aimed at safety, and their admissibility in civil litigation is limited.
