Transportation-related litigation in the railroad, aviation and trucking industries involves not only claims of statutory violations and defective products, but also operator-error negligence claims arising out of derailment, crossing accidents, general aviation and commercial airline disasters.

Our aviation litigation experience includes representation of fixed-basic operators, flight schools, charter services, maintenance shops, aircraft brokers, component parts and aircraft manufacturers. We represent aircraft manufacturers, including the aircraft manufacturer in the litigation arising from the crash of American Eagle Flight 4184 near Roselawn, Indiana. The senior partner, Michael P. Connelly, was lead trial counsel for the foreign manufacturer defendant in that case. A favorable resolution of this multiparty litigation was obtained for the manufacturer.

Connelly Roberts & McGivney LLC also represents owners, operators, carriers and their insurers in the interstate trucking industry in matters involving statutory and regulatory violations, tariffs and bills of lading, personal injury, death and insurance coverage disputes.
