Lethal Lesions In Aircraft Accidents, H. G. Mosely

Cleveland State Law Review

While most aircraft accident fatalities result from multiple lethal injuries, a significant number are caused by single identifiable lesions such as internal vascular tears (e.g., hemorrhage) especially in the brain area, which prompt surgical action may prevent from being fatal.Lawyers investigating such cases should ascertain whether or not medical treatment was prompt and skillful enough in the particular circumstances, and whether the particular injury (i.e., lesion) which actually caused death was identified and treated.
