Americans seeking legal relief related to plane crashes on the high seas or in foreign countries will usually find it advantageous to litigate their claims in United States courts whenever possible. Our lawyers are skilled with resolving the jurisdictional issues that can complicate finding a suitable forum in the U.S., where court procedures, evidentiary rules and the law of damages can often be favorable to the plaintiff. Principles of international law can still be applied by American courts where necessary, however, and our experience with international aviation accidents can go far toward protecting your interests.
The firm has also been highly successful in bringing the claims of foreign families and international air crash victims before the courts in the United States, despite airline manufacturers efforts to transfer the cases to less favorable jurisdictions around the world.
Worldwide Airplane Crash Lawyers Experienced With International Law
Our attorneys are also familiar with such essential sources of law as the Montreal or Warsaw Conventions, which can govern international air accident litigation under different circumstances. These conventions have specific time limits (different from the statutes of limitations governing other personal injury and wrongful death claims based on state or federal laws) as well as other distinctive provisions that can significantly affect your interests. We recommend that you seek legal advice promptly if you need counsel about your rights in an accident that occurred on a flight that was part of an international itinerary whether the accident occurred in the United States or overseas.
Kreindler & Kreindler's international aviation accident experience covers not only commercial air disasters but industrial, military or terrorist-related air crashes as well. For additional information about the scope of our practice, contact us in New York, Boston or Los Angeles.
