Aviation Accident Settlements and Trials

Whether we take aviation cases to trial or settle them, we at Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman always do what is in the best interests of our clients. Some clients prefer to have their case resolved before trial while others desire to see their case result in a trial. Regardless of the final outcome, we feel that preparing each case as if it were going to trial has a significant impact on the behavior of the defendants in settlement negotiations and trial.

Our most recent involvement in an aviation trial was in June of 2006 in Southern California and was a products liability trial against Bell Helicopter for a tail rotor failure in which we represented the families of three Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics who were killed in a rescue helicopter crash. (Our firm successfully changed aviation product liability law in an earlier Appeals Court decision on this case.)

Previously we were in trial in Los Angeles in 2003, representing the family of a young woman who was killed in a charter jet Gulfstream III, operated by Avjet and owned by Airborne Charter Inc., carrying 15 passengers from Los Angeles to Aspen when it crashed about 2,400 feet short of the runway. A multimillion dollar settlement was reached on behalf of our client as the jury was about to begin the punitive phase of the trial.
