Helicopter Crash Litigation, Second Edition is, simply put, an essential volume for any lawyer litigating a helicopter crash case. No other book is devoted exclusively to the representation of plaintiffs in helicopter crash cases. These unique cases require a different approach and techniques, which you will learn from accomplished trial lawyer Gary Robb, who has used these same techniques in a brilliant career as a trial lawyer. This indispensable text travels through the different knowledge and skill sets critical in the successful handling of these cases, ranging from the basic elements of helicopter structure and flight, through the preliminary factual investigation, filing the case, discovery, common defenses, damages and trial. Real helicopter case examples are utilized throughout so as to give context to the suggestions and techniques discussed. The author also recommends safety improvements within the helicopter industry for preventing these accidents in the future.

Based on a review of more than 2,000 U.S. airline aviation accident death cases from 1970 to 1984, this report describes the characteristics of the decedents and compares the compensation paid to their survivors with the levels of economic loss they suffered. The study found that the plaintiffs received 71 percent in net compensation, and 29 percent went for transactions costs. The findings indicate that airline accident litigation has higher transactions costs, but a lower ratio of transactions costs to total expenditures than tort litigation in general.

This report summarizes results of legal actions that claimants pursued to recover their losses in major aviation accidents. In particular, it attempts to determine why some cases settle early and others do not. The authors describe the elements that distinguish air-crash litigation. They discuss the simple correlation between economic loss suffered and litigation process pursued, the theory behind the empirical models, and the operational definition of the empirical variables. The analysis indicates that, where large losses to survivors were involved, claimants were more likely to sue, to go to trial, and to have longer time to closure, indicating that the stakes are important in determining which cases make greater demands on the tort system.
