A Major Difference
Aside from the amount of news coverage they receive, the only real difference between major commercial airline disasters and small private aircraft accidents is that there are more seats on board the commercial jet.
More to the point, the fact that an accident involves a major airline does not mean that you need to be represented by a major law firm with dozens or hundreds of lawyers in order to obtain a just result.
The most important qualification is actual aviation litigation experience.
O'Reilly Collins has tried or settled at least a half-dozen major airline crash lawsuits. While that may not seem like many cases in comparison to the hundreds of helicopter and small plane accident cases our firm has handled — major airline disasters are, thankfully, few and far between.
At O'Reilly Collins, clients will not sacrifice anything in terms of experience and at the same time, will benefit from having greater access to their attorneys and the small team of experts dedicated to working on their cases. The people and families our lawyers have represented over the years have greatly appreciated the more personal, friendlier service they have found here. We think you will too.
