Serving Illinois, Wisconsin and the Entire United States in Plane Crash Cases
The attorneys at Rapoport Law Offices, P.C. represent aircraft disaster victims and their families throughout the United States. We have also served as advocates for airplane crew members and their families. Our cases have involved all types of aircraft, including commercial, corporate and recreational airplanes. We have a remarkable record of accomplishment in aviation accident cases and have obtained millions of dollars in compensation for clients' losses and damages.
Practical Knowledge of the Aviation Industry
One reason for our success is the in-depth knowledge of our attorneys. Our firm's leadership role in numerous air disaster cases and track record of success in aviation settlements and trials demonstrates this. In addition, one of our attorneys is a former deputy director of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which is the government agency that investigates and determines the probable cause of most crashes in the United States involving aircraft. Our qualifications and experience allows us to provide clients with outstanding representation and advocacy.

Wrongful Death Is a Focus of Our Plane Crash Attorneys
Because so many aviation cases involve fatalities, it is important to work with an attorney who understands the different state rules governing eligibility to file wrongful death claims. Our attorneys handle fatal aviation cases throughout the United States and know the relevant laws of each state.*

* Our firm has attorneys licensed in Illinois, Wisconsin and New York. However, we have frequently been admitted to practice "pro hac vice" in other states in aviation cases. Pro hac vice is a Latin term literally translated meaning "for this turn." It is a legal term referring to a lawyer who has not been admitted to practice in a certain jurisdiction but has been allowed to participate in a particular case in that jurisdiction.
