The technology revolution in general aviation is transforming aviation litigation. In many cases, speculative claims have been supplanted by highly detailed data about aircraft involved in accidents, how pilots flew those aircraft and the events leading up to an accident.
Aviation lawyers must be familiar with technological advances and trends and how such technology might cause or reveal the causes of accidents. Likewise, aviation attorneys must have access to expert witnesses capable of accurately translating data from a variety of devices and technologies and incorporating it into an accident investigation.
