Searching for representation after a suspected aerotoxic exposure can feel overwhelming. You need an attorney who understands the complex medical evidence, aviation regulations, and litigation strategies required for these challenging cases. Use the guidance below to evaluate potential counsel and prepare for a productive consultation that protects your rights and maximizes your chances of recovering fair compensation.
Questions to Ask Prospective Firms
- Research Approach: How does the firm stay aligned with current aerotoxic science, including resources like the FAA's Aircraft Cabin Bleed Air Contaminants review and recent peer-reviewed studies on organophosphate exposure?
- Documentation Support: What tools, templates, or guidance does the firm provide to help you capture flight details, symptoms, and medical updates in a format that strengthens your case?
- Communication Style: How frequent will updates be? Will you have a dedicated point of contact who understands the nuances of your medical and professional situation?
- Litigation Experience: Has the firm handled complex toxic tort or aviation liability cases before? Do they have the resources to fight large aerospace corporations?
Why Specialized Knowledge Matters
Aviation law is a niche field, and aerotoxic syndrome cases are even more specialized. These cases often involve:
- Complex Jurisdiction: Determining whether to file in state, federal, or international courts depending on the flight route and airline.
- Workers' Compensation vs. Third-Party Claims: Navigating the interplay between employer liability and claims against manufacturers or maintenance providers.
- Scientific Causation: Connecting your specific health condition to a documented exposure event using expert testimony.
A general personal injury lawyer may not be equipped to handle these specific challenges. You need a team that focuses on this area of law.
