Aviation accidents often involve complex investigations and powerful defendants such as airlines, aircraft manufacturers, and government regulators. For individuals and families affected by these incidents, determining what went wrong and who is responsible can be extraordinarily difficult.
These cases frequently require navigating complicated jurisdictional issues and the intersection of provincial, federal, and international aviation laws. Multiple parties may share responsibility for the accident, and technical questions about aircraft design, maintenance, and operation often require specialized expertise.
At Rice Parsons Leoni & Elliott LLP, we undertake significant work at the outset of an aviation case to determine the cause of the accident—whether a product defect, pilot error, maintenance failure, or a combination of factors. We work with leading aviation engineers, pilots, and other experts to ensure the evidence is properly investigated and assessed before litigation proceeds.
Our firm handles all types of aviation cases, not only those involving aircraft crashes. Claims may also arise from incidents such as severe turbulence, injuries during boarding or disembarkation, or accidents at public or private airports.
