An aviation accident doesn’t end with a settlement check. Families deserve to know what happened, who had the power to prevent it, and what has to change so it doesn’t happen again. That’s the standard we hold every case to.
We don’t measure a case by how fast it can be closed. We pursue the evidence needed to expose failures, hold responsible parties accountable, and put the real human cost of unsafe decisions in front of those who can change them.
Our approach to full justice is at the center of this video.
A Fast Settlement Isn’t the Same as Full Justice
A settlement offer can arrive before the full record is clear. Accepting it may end a claim, but it can also leave critical evidence unexplored and responsible companies without a full accounting of their conduct. As we’ve put it, it’s possible to “short settle a $10 million or $100 million case” for a fraction of what the family was actually owed.
That isn’t how we approach aviation cases. The work calls for a clear view of what occurred, the decisions behind it, and the parties whose actions or failures contributed to the loss. For families, that means their case is treated as more than a line item on a corporate balance sheet.
Our Results Give the Industry Nowhere to Hide
Our record includes some of the highest verdicts and settlements in the country’s history, and in the most high profile aviation cases, including our representation in the Kobe Bryant helicopter crash case. Those results matter because they signal to defendants that we’re prepared to pursue a case fully, not treat an early offer as the finish line. We believe there’s a moral imperative to “expose what happened” when aviation practices put lives at risk—and that meaningful results carry a purpose beyond any single case. As we’ve said, “only by getting those kind of results can we get the attention of the industry and force change.”
What a Case Can Force the Industry to Reckon With
Corporations make decisions about procedures, training, equipment, and safety. When the consequences of those decisions are fully established in court, they can no longer be managed as a line item in a boardroom projection. Families come to us after an event that has changed everything, and they deserve counsel willing to investigate without limits, press for real answers, and pursue a result that reflects the gravity of what they’ve lost.
