Engine Failure Aviation Accident

Successfully represented the estates of a pilot and passenger killed when an engine bearing seizure caused catastrophic connecting rod and crankcase failure. Hot oil covered the windscreen, leading to an unsuccessful emergency landing. We secured substantial compensation from both the engine manufacturer and bearing manufacturer for the victims' families.

Aircraft Manufacturer Liability

Achieved a favorable settlement against an aircraft manufacturer after their demonstration pilot improperly feathered a turbine engine propeller during a law enforcement demonstration in South Africa. The resulting crash landing injured multiple passengers. Investigation revealed the pilot had been drinking heavily the night before the flight.
