Types of Aviation Litigation
WRONGFUL DEATH
In addition to the investigation and litigation of all issues of causation, fault and liability, Motley Rice gathers information necessary for establishing financial estate matters and present and future financial losses, as well as 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
We take numerous actions during the preparation and prosecution of the personal injury claim or suit. When injured due to negligence or careless actions of others, the victim is entitled to payment for various damages, which we will work to obtain. These include 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 different from ordinary personal injury law. Different theories of damage recovery are available to injured victims due to a different set of rules. Claims are usually based on state laws and brought under theories of breach of warranty, negligence, or strict liability. To avoid a statute of limitations defense, consulting an attorney immediately is important.
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 achieve the legal and financial results for our clients.
CROSS BORDER LITIGATION
With more and more U.S. airlines flying foreign manufactured aircraft, any air crash has the potential to present multinational and multilingual litigations. Motley Rice is a world-wide plaintiffs' leader in multinational litigations, successfully tracking defendants, evidence, and assets on every continent and in dozens of countries, including hostile nations and terrorist states. With in-country co-counsel, we have sought justice for plaintiffs in many countries.
