Aviation Litigation
 

The Committee explores issues arising in aviation matters, including: litigation techniques and tactics (at the pre-trial, trial and appellate levels); innovative use of demonstrative and computer-generated evidence; insurance coverage and defense; product liability; tort reform; multidistrict litigation; choice of law; sharing, funding, and other settlement agreements; and alternate dispute resolution.


Many of our members are experts on the Warsaw Convention, including the Montreal Protocols and IATA Intercarrier Agreements; the Montreal Convention; the Chicago Convention; the Death on the High Seas Act; the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act; the Federal Tort Claims Act; the Suits in Admiralty Act; the Freedom of Information Act; the Federal Aviation Regulations; and numerous other treaties, statutes, agreements, and laws that are frequently involved in aviation tort litigation, particularly aircrash cases.


In addition, we also share information and explore issues arising from aviation enforcement cases involving the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board, and those touching on transactional matters.
