Many airplanes are capable of crossing huge distances on a daily basis without many problems, but occasionally things can go horribly wrong. Take, for instance, an Air France plane crash three years ago that claimed the lives of nearly 300 people. Could better technology for detecting wind patterns and plane location have saved the lives of those involved in general aviation accidents like this?
One company says yes—and better yet—it has a solution. According to 9 News, Iridium has announced new radar technology called Aireon that will revolutionize the way the aviation industry is tracked and controlled.
Often times, planes go through airspace that doesn’t have air traffic control capabilities due to its remote location, like the Atlantic Ocean. Iridium says that Aireon will allow planes to be tracked in these areas and will improve safety and separation services, as well as emergency response time, in the event of an aviation accident.
The equipment will also allow planes to track wind patterns, such as the constantly moving jet streams above the oceans, in real time, which will improve flight times and efficiency. This could be the equivalent of taking 2.2 million cars off of the world’s roads.
The Cleveland Personal Injury Lawyers at Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy are anxious to see this new technology utilized and are hopeful it will be able to prevent aviation accidents and save lives.

Proving medical malpractice is notoriously difficult. That’s because every patient is different, and bad outcomes can happen even when doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare providers are thorough, attentive, and follow all protocols and guidelines when treating patients. In addition to being difficult to prove, doctors, surgeons, and other providers rarely admit to malpractice when it […]

When people are hospitalized, they and their loved ones expect for them to get better. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and sometimes, their health declines because they contract diseases that are primarily found in hospitals. One of the most dreaded hospital-related illnesses is an intestinal illness caused by a bacteria called Clostridioides difficile, or C. […]

One of the most common traffic violations committed by any driver is driving with a burned-out headlight, taillight, brake light, or turn signal. While these traffic violations can be dangerous for drivers of pickup trucks, sedans, and SUVs, they can be extremely hazardous for drivers of semi-trucks—and the people driving near them. Burned out semi-truck […]
