Our attorneys intimately understand the inner working of the federal agencies, here and around the world, that are charged with investigating air disasters and regulating air carriers. Our years of experience in this volatile and complex area of litigation allows us to successfully prepare for a trial by taking into account issues of jurisdiction, venue and conflicts of the law.

Each aviation disaster is caused by a unique set of circumstances and factors, and therefore each case is unique. The cause of the accident may lie with the airline, the manufacturer of the aircraft or its component parts, air traffic controllers, airport management or human error. It is usually a combination of factors.

From the beginning, starting with the investigation into an air disaster, we begin with a team of experts to follow and build the case. Our consultants include experts who have been employed by the regulatory and investigative agencies in the airline industry, major aircraft manufacturers and air carriers. They are chosen on a case-by-case basis and the team may expand as the investigation begins to offer clues to the cause of the accident.

Final and official reports issued on the cause of an aviation disaster do not assign liability or blame, they simply state the probable causes. Our attorneys and experts follow the investigation closely and piece together the reasons for the accident, thereby determining liability. From this point we build our case and set out to prove it in court.
