Aviation Expert Addresses Flight Safet...(al. Missouri Circuit Court Twenty-Second...),Health

"The public is under the misconception that when they board an airplane with the logos of major airlines they are getting the same level of care and safety as if they were flying on airplanes owned and operated by the major airlines," Lebovitz said. "Our firm has represented many families whose loved ones were victims of aviation disasters where dangerous icing conditions have been a major factor. As a result, we have been able to identify the design defects of these airplanes and the deficiencies in training pilots who find themselves confronted with icing weather conditions."

About Jamie R. Lebovitz
For the last 20 years, attorney Jamie R. Lebovitz, senior partner with Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy, has been bringing justice to the families of those who have perished in aviation accidents as well as to the survivors. He has been involved in litigation concerning most major commercial aircraft crashes both in the United States and around the world and has helped to bring about significant change in the way airlines do business and the way manufacturers design and produce airplanes. One case in particular--the 1994 crash of US Airways Flight 427 near Pittsburgh that killed all 132 passengers and crew members on board. Mr. Lebovitz helped bring to the forefront the design flaws with the Boeing 737's rudder system, particularly a valve in the rudder control unit that sometimes jammed. Because of its faulty rudder system, Flight 427 slammed into a wooded hillside in Beaver County just minutes before it was scheduled to land at Pittsburgh International Airport.
