There’s an old saying in the aviation world, that airplanes fly and helicopters pound the ground into submission.

But it’s more than just a saying. Aside from the obvious, attorneys who work on cases involving helicopter crashes know they’re dealing with machines that are fundamentally different from their fixed-wing counterparts. Helicopters have many more components than airplanes, all of them working together in a complex mechanical ballet that keeps the craft in the air.

Rose•Walker has represented helicopter manufacturers and charter operators in accident cases for many years. We understand the particular needs of helicopters, including the tremendous amount of maintenance that’s necessary to keep them in the air. Maintenance is a focus in any aviation accident, but even more so in helicopter crash cases.

That’s why so many companies call on us in cases involving helicopter crashes.
