Muggeo & Associates Works to Win Recovery Despite Liability Limitations
Muggeo & Associates is an aviation accident litigation leader with vast experience in handling all aircraft accident claims, including military plane and helicopter crashes. In such cases, navigating the legal landscape requires experienced attorneys who understand the intricacies of military aviation law. Aviation crash litigation is quite complex, and the legal options for victims of military aircraft and helicopter crashes could be limited. Although the federal government cannot be sued for damages related to a naval jet crash or an army helicopter accident where the pilot was in active service in any branch of the armed forces, an injured service member or the family of a service member may be able to pursue a claim against a product manufacturer, private contractor or another government entity (such as the FAA).
Federal law in the form of the Government Contractor Defense may also protect contractors providing aircraft, components, or maintenance services to the military against liability.
We have successfully opposed the government contractor defense in a series of cases and obtained recoveries for our clients.

Muggeo & Associates
Successful litigation against government and military contractors requires a technical evaluation and investigation of the product. We are thorough in our litigation process and fight to get victims and their families the largest settlements possible.
There are, however, other available claims, such as those permitted under the Military Claims Act, important exceptions to the “government contractor defense.” Muggeo & Associates has won many cases against government contractors that supplied defective equipment to our military and have recovered millions of dollars for the families of civilians killed in military mishaps.
These cases involve outsourced flights under military support contracts with private companies, and Muggeo & Associates believes that these private companies should be accountable for negligence that injures or kills U.S. service members or civilians.
