Dinkes and Schwitzer are not ones to shy away from big, high profile cases.

They don’t come much bigger than aviation accident cases and pharmaceutical litigation, so who better than Dinkes and Schwitzer to walk us through how these types of cases are handled?
Do aviation accident cases only involve crashes?
No, they can involve any injury that occurs on an airplane; for example, excessive turbulence or insufficient precautions taken around boarding and exiting could form the basis of a case. Claims can be filed against an airline, a pilot, a hostess, an air traffic controller or any other party that can said to be responsible for the accident.
Who investigates crashes?
A number of parties investigate crashes including government bodies such as the FBI or the FAA, the airlines and the plaintiff’s attorney.
What is pharmaceutical litigation?
Pharmaceutical litigation cases involve people who have been injured as a result of a drug. It could be that the drug was defective, your physician prescribed the wrong drug, drug side effects were poorly documented, or that incorrect instructions for use were included with the drug.
How do I win a pharmaceutical litigation case?
You need to prove that the harm you suffered really was caused by the drug you took. It’s important that you thoroughly document your medical condition and collect any medical records that illustrate the effect the drug had on you.
What does a class action suit involve?
Class action suits are for when the same incident or product affect a number of people in the same way. All of the affected agree to combine their suits into one large suit. Aviation accidents and pharmaceutical litigation cases are usually likely candidates for class action suits, as the nature of such instances inherently involves a great number of people.
