Aviation Industry

Carlton Fields understands the aviation industry and its laws, risks, regulations, challenges, and opportunities. We have successfully defended a wide range of claims arising from major airline disasters, accidents, employment practices liability, and insurance coverage issues.

"The United States remains the favored forum to litigate foreign air crash death and injury cases. The stellar safety record of domestic air carriers here, plus the dismal safety record of those in some less developed countries, makes foreign air crash cases far more attractive to U.S. attorneys than they may have been previously. Still, U.S. courts closely scrutinize these cases, and absent extreme circumstances, most are eventually dismissed—either to be litigated elsewhere or abandoned by the attorneys."
