Firm Earns Appellate Victory for Airline Client in Personal Injury Case

Obtained a favorable decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal granting firm airline client’s motion to dismiss a plaintiff’s claim of defective seating configuration within an aircraft, which he claimed caused him deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Previously, the 24th Judicial District Court in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana had granted the exception of no cause of action of the firm’s client. This appellate decision was the first federal appellate court decision involving airlines and DVT.
