Full Service Defense Representation in Aviation Law
Air crashes almost inevitably result in lawsuits against aircraft and avionics manufacturers, the airline or aircraft owner or operator, the flight crew, maintenance companies, and product and component manufacturers.
Aviation disaster litigation — or any aviation litigation — is a complex interplay of contracts, leases, insurance claims and cross-claims governed by a maze of state and federal laws and regulatory agencies. The law firm of Blecher & Collins provides sophisticated litigation and consulting services to all parties in the industry in all facets of aviation law.
