DISCLAIMER
Verdicts and settlements as reported in these multiple news sources reflect the amount these verdicts and settlements at the time they were reported and will not necessarily reflect the amounts ultimately recovered by the parties and may not be representative of results in other similar cases.
Reported amounts will not reflect attorneys’ fees (typically up to a 40 percent contingent fee) or case expenses. Jury verdicts may have been settled pending an appeal for a lesser amount and may remain a confidential basis on agreement of the parties as approved by the court.
Real Results in Aviation Accident Cases
For more than five decades, Richard Mithoff and the attorneys at Mithoff Law have fought many cases for the rights of aviation accident victims and those harmed by another party’s negligence.
By way of an example, our attorneys fought for the families of those killed in the crash of Air France 447 in 2009. Mithoff Law brought suit against Air France and Airbus on behalf of the surviving family members of the only Americans aboard the flight. In reflecting upon whether the Air France 447 tragedy should have informed Boeing with respect to design choices it made for the 737 MAX aircraft, the Houston Chronicle featured the work of Mithoff Law, alongside analysis from Captain Sully Sullenberger (the captain of the U.S. Airways “Miracle on the Hudson” flight).
Recently, Mithoff Law attorneys Richard Mithoff and Warner Hocker took their clients’ claims to trial in a case arising out of the fatal crash of a twin-engine Beech 58 Baron near Kerrville, Texas. The total jury verdict was in excess of $12 million.
We know how daunting this experience can be for victims and their families. That’s why we consult with engineers and respected experts to prepare your case for the best possible outcome. While our results speak for themselves, they’ve also garnered recognition from local and national press.
Mithoff ranked by his peers among the top 10 lawyers in Texas for 13 years.
