Bailey & Partners has been involved in aviation cases since the beginning of the firm, 30 years ago. That’s what we do. It’s also my passion. I’m a flight instructor for airplanes, for instruments, for multi engine. I flew as a charter captain under part 135. So, it’s in my blood stream, it’s in the blood stream of the people that we work with and we’ve litigated aviation cases across the country.

Before a lawyer should take on an aviation case they’ve really got to have the experience to bring to bear all of the skills that are absolutely essential to win.

It may start with the investigation of the crash Knowing what to look for, ground scars, what was the weather reported to be Was there a design defect in the airplane so If you haven’t been there, if you haven’t sat in the left seat and know what it’s like to fly..at night..alone.. when it’s dark and raining. You really don’t understand some of the struggles that the pilot went through or some of the struggles the pilot should never have confronted because of a lack of experience.

All of these play, what could be a pivotal role. And if you don’t understand how all those pieces come together, then you may miss the point. So whoever you choose for your lawyer, make sure that he or she has a significant aviation background or you could be at a significant disadvantage.

Another segment of aviation law is completion centers. A completion center is an operation that a client hires to complete the interior of a VVIP or a very very important project. The interior of a jet. And the interior of a jet can easily be 25 million dollars. So what goes wrong with the completion in a completion center. Probably 3 words come to mind. Delay Delay Delay. The types of damages that a client would suffer in a failed completion of the interior of their jet. The first that comes to mind is well someone’s got to complete the jet properly. So they have to hire another completion center. And during that delay of hiring another completion center they no longer have another airplane to fly. So they have to acquire what we call supplemental lift that is buy a charter from another charter operator or buy time on another jet. All of those are damages. And if the completion center wound up damaging the aircraft, now you have a diminution in value of the aircraft. It’s a very challenging area of aviation law. That is completing the interior of a jet because of the millions and millions of dollars that are at issue. So it’s really a segment of business aviation litigation that we specialize in.

One of the key attributes of this law firm is the fact that Patrick and I have a significant amount of trial experience. Patrick and I take on every case and meet with every client with one major thought in mind and that is to take it all the way through the finish, to trial.

That’s the great equalizer, having 12 men and women from the community. That is our bill of rights in force. And if you’re going to represent your client to the max to hopefully bring in the best compensation you possibly can for your client. It’s probably going to happen in the courtroom.

A lot of law firms are more interested are more interested in trying to maximize a settlement value as quickly as they can without paying attention to that very very key concept. what is in the best interest of the client. we will go the distance for the client in order to maximize the recovery whether it be by settlement just before trial or if it means taking the case all the way through verdict. We are not the type of people who are going to flinch or otherwise be insecure in any respect whatsoever about completing the case and doing all that is necessary in order to maximize value for the client.

Bailey & Partners is a law firm that’s dedicated 100% to its clients. We practice aviation law wrongful death and serious injury cases. People have asked me why I became a trial attorney. And the simple answer is because I became convinced that’s where I can help my clients the best.

Bailey & Partners has a lot of unique attributes. The attorneys here have in excess of 60 years of experience. Most of that experience is in the area of personal injury, catastrophic injury, pharmaceutical and wrongful death

Being trial attorneys for over 30 years now We have the resources, the skills and more importantly the dedication to win for our clients.

In every case that Patrick and I handle we consider it important to focus on three critical areas and that’s preparation, preparation and more preparation. Now that typically involves meeting with the client early on after a catastrophic accident or a sever injury and determining exactly where they are in their process of rehabilitation.

When a client has suffered a significant loss they need a lot more than just legal services, they need a team that’s dedicated to their success. And that’s what we do here at Bailey and Partners.

In the area of pharmaceutical negligence, the first place that you look at is who’s the defendant. Is it a manufacturer, is it a seller, is it a distributor, is it a hospital. Is it a pharmacy that’s compounding medications for a user. And once you identify the defendant you need to identify, what went wrong. Was it a failure to warn about possible side effects? Was it a failure to research about possible side effects.

These cases are tricky, all of them are. Especially when you’re dealing with people who have experienced a significant amount of anxiety and depression along with their physical injuries. So we have the power and the ability to refer them to excellent additional legal help as special neurologists, psychologists, physiatrists, people of this nature that these particular injured victims may not have access to

A consumer of pharmaceuticals needs to be told the truth. about What am I putting in my body? What is it going to do? And what are the dangers. Keeping that information away from the consumer is more than negligence, that’s willful disregard.
