Aviation Practice Overview

Motley Rice’s aviation team works to hold the aviation industry accountable and ensure that the importance of passenger safety is not diminished by a mere cost-benefit analysis. Our attorneys fight for justice and accountability on behalf of plane crash victims’ family members as well as survivors injured in aviation disasters. Through our work, we also serve as a voice for changes that raise the standard of safety and security for air travel in the United States and abroad.

The growing demand for air travel means that plane crashes will only increase in the future. As one of the nation’s largest plaintiffs’ firms, Motley Rice has a global reach. We have the professional experience and financial resources to investigate, litigate and resolve aviation crash cases on behalf of clients residing virtually anywhere in the world. Our relationships with aviation and disaster analyst experts keep our firm at the forefront of both the legal and technical aspects of this complex area of law. We also work with foreign co-counsel in several countries because we believe the flying public deserves the same safety standards regardless of location and destination of flight.

Motley Rice's aviation attorneys, including a former Inspector General of the Department of Transportation, have extensive experience representing those affected by aviation disasters in several types of aviation cases. Our staff also includes four current jet pilots, an aviation maintenance expert, a former flight attendant, a former aviation professor and multilingual translators. We are proud of the knowledge, experience, and resources that allow us to seek accountability from corporations, institutions, organizations, governments, and terrorists when the safety and security of the traveling public are breached.
