Aviation disasters don’t just make headlines—they leave behind investigations, lawsuits, and questions about accountability. In this episode of Justice for Y’all, attorneys Paul Painter, Stephen Morrison, and Andrew Bowen of Bowen Painter Trial Lawyers revisit the shocking mid-air collision between an American Airlines jet and a Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River. Since the last episode, another aviation accident has occurred—this time, a devastating crash in Toronto. Returning to the podcast is aviation attorney and former military crash investigator Phillip Peche. Together, they dive deeper into the critical errors and miscommunications that may have contributed to both disasters. The discussion covers everything from conflicting radio frequencies to night vision limitations, breaking down what investigators are piecing together in real-time. Beyond the technical analysis, this episode explores the legal side of aviation crashes. What happens when pilots misjudge their approach? How do international treaties like the Montreal Convention affect where victims can file lawsuits? And when an airline is at fault, what does justice look like for those impacted? Whether you’re fascinated by aviation, legal investigations, or simply want to understand how these cases unfold, this episode offers expert insight into the complexities of air disaster litigation. Listen now to get the full breakdown of these recent aviation tragedies and their legal implications.
