Litigation Matters: Don’t always take NTSB results as fact

Gordon & Gordon provided expert witness and litigation support to the one of the many defendants’ counsel in a federal case.

Our expertise provided a forensic engineering investigation, evidence examination, and analyses citing that the metallurgical and mechanical aspects of a carburetor throttle tie rod assembly from the wreckage of a Schweitzer 269C-1 helicopter killed the pilot and a passenger in a costly civil action.

Efforts were effective in refuting the hardware findings of the NTSB lab and extracting our client, the maintenance mechanic from the litigation.
