Aviation Accidents

Aviation accident litigation is among the most competitive practice area at the plaintiffs bar; consequently, some of our biggest successes have resulted from our work in this area.

Our work in a commercial aircraft disaster made one Texas attorney a major player in that highly competitive field, taking him from a small practice to one which is national in scope. We've worked in cases involving all types of air vehicles, from commercial jetliners to vintage piston-engined craft; from hot air balloons to air ambulances and taxis.

Our clients have been interviewed on their knowledge of Kapton wiring, uncommanded 737 rolls, composite rudder assemblies -- and many more subjects.

Commercial Aviation

Since 1996, we have worked with clients in every major domestic aircraft accident, from ValuJet to Comair Flight 5191. Our clients have had their experience showcased in The New York Times, National Public Radio, the CBS Evening News and many more news venues. As a result, peers and plaintiffs alike have turned to them during these terrible and tragic events.

We have done this through press coverage which is dignified, not exploitive of grieving families, and focused on the knowledge and experience of our clients.

General Aviation

Multi-passenger deaths and injuries resulting from  general aviation accidents are extremely common. We have worked with several lawyer-clients in such cases, giving them a chance to demonstrate to their public their experience in this area.

Without exploiting the victims, our clients discuss such issues as unsafe air taxi operations, defective parts and inadequate safeguard of parts quality, metal fatigue, ground controller training and others.
