Fatal Aviation Accident Case Results

Private Plane Crash - $3 Million Settlement

Our aviation litigators obtained a $3,000,000 settlement on behalf of the widow and two surviving children of a 45-year-old missionary who died in a plane crash in Mexico. While traveling on a missionary relief effort, the cam shaft gear broke in the plane that the decedent was piloting. The Walkup wrongful death litigators successfully brought a wrongful death claim against the manufacturers of the engine, demonstrating that the engine contained both design and manufacturing flaws.

Commercial Air Crash - $2 Million Settlement

Our airline wrongful death litigation team obtained a settlement in excess of $2,000,000 on behalf of the grandparents of a 7-year-old child who died on Alaska Airlines Flight #261 when the plane crashed en route from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to San Francisco. Our wrongful death lawyers, working in conjunction with attorneys for other plaintiffs in the case, proved that Alaska Airlines did not take all necessary measures to perform required maintenance, overlooked signs of potential problems and thereby assumed responsibility for the deaths.
