Aviation
Accident
Our primary concentration is
aviation accident law at the local,
national and international level. We
represent the families of persons
injured in aviation accidents involving
civilian (major airline, regional
airline, corporate, charter and general
aviation/private aircraft) and military
(fighter, transport, attack, helicopter
and tilt rotor) aircraft. Our
experience includes virtually every type
of accident involving virtually every
type of cause: mechanical failure,
design flaw, material failure,
operational (pilot) error, Air Traffic
Control negligence, terrorist, and
maintenance failures. In addition to the
legal concepts of negligence, products
liability, failure of the duty to warn,
and breach of express and implied
warranty, we are also experienced in the
challenging and complex areas of the
Warsaw Convention, the Federal Tort
Claims Act, the Foreign Sovereign
Immunity Act, the Government Contractor
Defense, and numerous state-specific
hurdles such as statutes of repose and
contributory negligence. The
experience gained in our numerous cases
over the years enables us to handle any
type of aviation accident case. We are especially proud of our
helicopter expertise - Mr. Crouse is a
U.S. Army qualified Research and
Development and Maintenance Test Pilot.
His actual flying experience includes
Research and Development test flying,
maintenance test flying, MEDEVAC,
environmental, observation, assault, and
administrative flying. He was one of the
first Army Aviators to fly Night Vision
Goggles, and he has experience with the
TADS/PNVS system on the Army’s AH-64
Apache helicopter. In addition to his
test flying duties, his primary Military
Occupational Specialty was as an Army
Aviation Maintenance Officer, where he
spent the majority of twenty-five years
of military service.
Our overall experience and interest in
the aviation law field has enabled us to
co-author a casebook on aviation law,
which has been selected for use by
aviation law professors.
