Remembering Trevor Cadigan: A Mother’s Story After a Helicopter Crash

Trevor Cadigan, a 26 year old journalist, died when a doors-off tour helicopter made an emergency landing into New York’s East River. Improvised construction-style harnesses became deadly, locking passengers in place as the helicopter tipped on its side. Robb & Robb represented Trevor’s family in a wrongful death case, holding the flight operator, aircraft owner, and equipment manufacturer accountable. In 2024, a New York City jury awarded a record-setting $116 million, providing justice for Trevor and his family after this tragic, preventable accident. In 2025, the case was settled for a $90 million cash payment.

Trevor’s mother shares her heartfelt memories of her son and the profound impact of his loss. She speaks candidly about her journey through grief and how Robb & Robb guided her every step of the way, providing support, advocacy, and reassurance during one of the most difficult times in her life.
