Aviation disasters, whether domestic or international, present some of the most complex and challenging legal cases, often involving catastrophic injuries, extensive trauma or loss of life. These tragedies are uncommon but can result from a range of factors including pilot error, mechanical malfunctions, insufficient maintenance, crew fatigue, air traffic controller negligence, or even terrorism. The complexities of these cases are further compounded when international elements are involved, requiring a deep understanding of conflicting state laws, foreign laws, and international treaties. At our firm, we have successfully navigated these challenges, bringing clarity and justice to our clients in the aftermath of such devastating events. As result of the rarities and complexities associated with airplane accidents, it is imperative that victims and their families obtain immediate representation from trial attorneys with specific experience in this field.
At Doyon & White, our partners have directly navigated the intricacies of both domestic and international aviation disaster claims. These efforts have included leading accident reconstruction investigations to determine the role of weather systems, mechanical failure, pilot error, defective navigational tools, insufficient maintenance, excessive age of planes, crew fatigue, air traffic controller negligence and terrorism. We have extensive experience working with and advocating for clients with (and sometimes against) the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration.
We understand that certain international airlines operate in regions with less stringent regulatory frameworks, leading to potential safety and operational concerns.

The length of time required to see your case through to completion varies by case. During your initial consultation, we will review the expected time lines and potential recovery uniquely associated with your matter.
Usually, there is a statute of limitations on bringing a claim. This means you have a limited amount of time to notify the other party of your claim for damages and filing with the appropriate courts. For most wrongful death and catastrophic injury claims, you have less than two years from the date of loss to file a lawsuit in Connecticut. It is therefore advisable to speak with an attorney as soon as you become aware of a potential issue, from there we can help you formulate a plan of action.
