Disasters in aviation, shipping and public transportation
Disasters in aviation, shipping and public transportation
The consequences of a disaster in aviation, shipping, or public transportation are often devastating. Not only through the direct loss of life, but also through the prolonged legal and emotional aftermath for bereaved families and survivors.
What are disaster cases?
These disasters typically involve complex liability issues, international regulations, and competing interests of airlines, shipping companies, and governments. Beer advocaten helps victims and their families uncover the truth, establish liability, and obtain compensation.
