Types of Aviation Litigation
WRONGFUL DEATH
In addition to the investigation and litigation of all issues of causation, fault and liability, we gather information necessary to establish financial estate matters, present and future financial losses and other losses. Damages arising from wrongful death fall into the following categories: economic loss (lost income), non-economic loss (pain and suffering), survival damages (fear, grief and sorrow), and punitive or exemplary damages.
PERSONAL INJURY
When injured due to the negligence or careless actions of others, a victim may be entitled to payment for various damages. Depending on the victim and the injury, these may include such things as compensatory damages (property damages, medical expenses, lost earnings, “other” damages and future damages), general damages, loss of consortium, emotional damages, and punitive or exemplary damages.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
Product liability law is complex and differs from general personal injury law. Claims are usually based on state laws and brought under theories of breach of warranty, negligence or strict liability. Consulting an attorney immediately is important as there is a legally defined time frame in which you may bring a claim.
CLASS ACTIONS
Other nations’ laws sometimes permit class actions to be brought to redress mass disaster losses. We have brought such class actions in several countries and have teamed with in-country co-counsel to work for our clients.
CROSS BORDER LITIGATION
Motley Rice attorneys, together with in-country co-counsel, has sought justice for plaintiffs of various nationalities in many countries. With more and more U.S. airlines flying foreign-manufactured aircraft, any air crash has the potential to present multinational and multilingual litigation. Motley Rice has successfully tracked defendants, evidence and assets on multiple continents and in dozens of countries, including hostile nations and terrorist states.
