The Morse Law Group

An Airbus A330 aircraft operated by another international airline was damaged on the ground when a fire broke out at an electric hydraulic pump. The airline and it's insurer sought damages in excess of $15,000,000 for cost of repair and more than $5,000,000 for loss of use. Using a team of technical experts, we were able to demonstrate that the fire resulted from the airline's failure to comply with airworthiness directives and the manufacturer's required procedures. That action was successfully defended on the merits in the French Court, resulting in a Judgment in favor of our client.

A Convair 640 airplane was damaged on the first flight after installation of a replacement part. Investigation disclosed that the overhaul tag for this part was a forgery.  Judgment was entered for our client and against the part seller on the basis of the express warranty of airworthiness.

Two thrust reversers were taken without authorization from a grounded business jet and installed onto another aircraft of the same model. Our client, the company which purchased the security interest in the first airplane, collected the value of the thrust reversers plus interest from the date of the unlawful taking.

An engine was removed from a business jet and sold to another company without regard to the recorded security interest in that engine. Our client, the holder of the security interest collected damages from the purchaser of the engine.
