| We were very pleased to be a part of the AViCON 2009 Conference held in New York in May. The animation posted is a shortened version of the actual animation shown at the conference.
The conference was based on a reconstruction of a fictional air disaster when a passenger aircraft crashes into the Glacier d’ Argentiere on the Swiss-French border. Causation was far from clear, and a number of parties may have contributed to the accident. The conference showed how such a disaster may be investigated and managed; it then went on to illustrate the complex legal issues involved and the strategies that may be employed in settling the claims.
The scenario was set using a state-of-the-art animation, and then experts in disaster management and accident investigation led the audience through the technical aspects of crisis management and the process and protocols of a formal investigation.
The circumstances shown in the animation led to potential liability upon a number of parties, including the airline, the aircraft manufacturer and the maintenance contractor. There were a number of leading lawyers to debate the issues that arose, including: forum selection, punitive damages, fee considerations, evaluating claims, negligent entrustment, discovery, spoliation, dispute resolution, quantum of damages, and relationship with insurers.
