Aviation accident cases turn on specifics: a flight record entry, a cockpit decision, a single component that failed. The technical questions in any given case are distinct, and the people best equipped to answer them aren’t always the same ones we used last time. That’s why we build each case around its own evidence first—and then find the people who can explain it.
This video offers a closer look at how we approach that process.
We Follow The Evidence To The Right People
No two aviation accidents present the same questions. A case involving pilot conduct may call for entirely different analysis than one centered on engineering, maintenance, or a failed component. As we say in the video, “Every case has its own particular facts and particular needs.” We start there—identifying what needs to be understood—then pursue the people whose knowledge fits that question.
Over years of aviation litigation, we’ve developed relationships with pilots, engineers, scientists, and other technical professionals. Some have worked with us repeatedly; some work only with us. Those relationships matter when a case requires a perspective from someone who might otherwise be reluctant to participate in litigation. We pledge to seek “the best team of technical experts” for every case, going wherever the needed knowledge is rather than limiting a client’s case to a convenient or familiar list of names.
Our record includes the highest verdicts and settlements in the country’s aviation cases, as well as the country’s most high - profile aviation disasters, such as our representation of the Bryant family in the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant. That history, and the accountability we have forced aviation companies to accept, has helped us earn the trust of technical professionals who understand that careful investigation can serve both an individual case and the broader cause of safer aviation.
Why The Technical Team Behind Your Case Matters
Families shouldn’t have to accept a legal approach that treats complex aviation evidence as routine. The technical team behind a case shapes the questions asked, the evidence examined, and the ability to challenge explanations that don’t hold up. We know “experts are everything” in aviation cases—which is why we assemble a team around the specific issues each case involves, not a default roster.
