Representative cases
Doe Estate v. XYZ Corp. Confidential settlement
Ms. Doe taught her students about the Mayan ruins of the Yucatan Peninsula but had never seen them firsthand. Aboard a Caribbean cruise she signed up for a shore excursion flight to Chichen Itza. The return flight from the ruins lifted off and reached 600 feet when one of the twin turbo engines failed, and the plane rapidly plummeted to a field below. All on board, including Ms. Doe, died in the crash. Mexican authorities found pilot negligence in failing to properly respond to engine failure. Our legal team also charged the tour company for its negligence in choosing an unsafe airline, and the cruise line for negligence in assessing the tour company's operation. The cruise line, tour company and charter airline all contributed to the settlement.
