International aviation disasters are uncommon and almost always involve diverse and conflicting aspects of state law, foreign law and international treaties. 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 complexities of both domestic and international aviation disasters. 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. Statistics have shown that airlines operating under such circumstances may exhibit higher rates of accidents and safety breaches. Our firm remains dedicated to holding these potentially less regulated international airlines accountable for any negligence or misconduct that contributes to aviation disasters. With a keen understanding of the global aviation landscape, we are committed to advocating for the rights of victims and their families, ensuring they receive the compensation and closure they deserve.

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.
