Understanding the intricacies of aviation and the complex laws encompassing aviation is extremely important when litigating such cases.  More often than not, accidents involving helicopters and planes are very complex having many moving parts including issues of product defect and liability.  Also, victims who may have a potential claim aren’t always in the aircraft themselves at the time of a crash.  On the contrary, they may be a victim on the aircraft, or they may be a victim who was simply on land or even on the water at the time of a crash.  Lastly, depending on the location where the accident took place and the aircraft and/or parts involved were manufactured, a victim could find him or herself litigating in more than one state.
