His 30-lawyer rm, Girardi|Keese, boasts more members of the illustrious American Board of Trial Advocates than any othher rm, and his advice is valued as much by injured consumers as it is by national political and business leaders. “ese cases, what my rm and I do every day, is the most immportant work I know,” says Girardi, whho has tallied more than $11 billion in verdicts and settlements. “ere is no higher calling than to go to court and represent someone who has been injured to ensure they are compensated.” Despite all his success, he still loves nothing more than taking on a corporation that he believes is taking advantage of people. at’s exactly the case with his battle against Shell Oil Co. on behalf of 1,000 residents of the Carousel division of Carson, which is heavily polluted by petroleum waste. In July, the Carson City Council declared an environmental emergency because benzene levels 100 times allowable levels were found. “I’ve seen some really bad actors in my time,” says Girarddi, whose fame was made as one of the lawyers in “Erin Brockovich.” He won $333 million against PG&E for its devastation of Hinkley, California, and its 650 residents, whho were poisoned by hexavalent chromium. “But this one takes the cake. e residents of Carousel saved every penny they had for these dream homes, and now all they have is a nightmare.” THERE IS NO HIGHER CALLING THHAN TO GO TO CCOURT AND REPRESENT About the Firm Established in 1965 by highly esteemed lawyers Thomas V. Girardi and Robert M. Keese, the law firm of Girardi & Keese has successfully recovered well over $10 billion in verdicts and settlements against the largest, most powerful companies in the world, including Pacific Gas & Electric, El Paso Gas, Sempra Energy, Exxon, Shell, Unocal, Dupont, Ashland, Ford Motor Company, The Walt Disney Company, and Farmers Insurance. Following the examples of Mr. Keese and Mr. Girardi, our law firm is committed to the ideals of success, integrity, and justice. Perhaps most fundamental to the history of Girardi & Keese is our consistent ability throughout the years to obtain the highest recoveries possible for our wronged clients. We have been involved in some of the most groundbreaking cases in re - cent legal history, beginning in 1970 with the first million-dollar verdict in a med - ical malpractice case in California and continuing on with the $1.9 billion settlement obtained on behalf of California consumers for fraud committed by energy companies. Thomas V. Girardi and Robert M. Keese have each tried over 100 jury cases to conclusion. We speak for wronged people; we develop winning cases; we work with lawyer referrals; we serve the community; we strengthen law that protects individuals. Members of Girardi & Keese are admitted to the Courts of California, Federal Dis - trict and Appellate Courts, and the United States Supreme Court. Our attorneys have served as counsel in cases across the country and around the world. Whether you have been seriously injured and are searching for superior legal representa - tion or you are unsure if you have a case, Girardi & Keese is pleased to hear from you. We will gladly evaluate all possible cases at a complimentary consultation and are always happy to answer any questions you might have. Aviation Practice The Girardi Keese law firm serves the Los Angeles, Long Beach, Burbank, Ontario, Palm Springs, San Diego, Irvine, Sacramento, San Francisco, Oakland, Fresno, Bak - ersfield, Santa Barbara and Eureka areas, but our aviation practice extends to all 50 states and to international locations. As personal injury attorneys at Girardi | Keese, our primary concern in any aviation accident is the human tragedy, the loss of valuable and valued lives. To bring clo - sure and honor lost loved ones, we have to dig to find answers. We are lawyers first — attorneys who care about our clients—who are often sought for international aviation accident cases because of our experience, our determi - nation to get to the truth and our insistence on getting the compensation the plane crash injury survivors and the families of victims need to deal with the dev - astation. At Girardi | Keese, our lawyers have the experience and ability to handle aviation accident cases no matter where in the world they occurred. Our objectives are to get to the truth of what happened and achieve fair and just compensation for our clients. That often means trying the case in the United States whenever possible. We know the questions to ask and the experts to consult. We have the financial resources to follow the case wherever it may lead. And we care about clients whose lives were changed by a plane crash. Aviation Litigation Aviation litigation involves individuals seeking damages for injuries or death caused by or involving aircraft. Girardi & Keese has represented many individuals, families, crew members, and organizations in litigation arising out of aviation accidents that occurred nation - wide or internationally against major commercial carriers, charter flights, private aircraft, and governmental agencies. Aviation litigation requires not only a command of domestic and international law, but expertise in the technical aspects of aviation equipment, aerodynamics, flight procedures, and Federal Aviation Administration regulations. A big question in aviation is where is the best venue for an international case. All aviation accidents are complicated cases. Where they happen is important, but where they are tried can make all the difference in the compensation awarded to injured people and the families of people who were killed in the accident. Aviation disasters often involve complex and specialized evaluation of pilot per - formance, aircraft design, manufacturing defects, and maintenance of the aircraft. Girardi & Keese attorneys are well versed in these types of cases and work with the most qualified aviation experts in the country to produce reliable accident recon - struction scenarios, product failure evaluations, and to analyze pilot error and FAA responsibility. Aviation Areas Aviation Law General Aviation International Air Accidents Helicopter Accidents Sightseeing Tours Charter Accidents Maintenance Negligence Design Defect Crew Negligence Personal Injury The attorneys at Girardi | Keese have recovered more than 10 billion in verdicts and settlements for clients who have been injured or killed be - cause of someone else’s actions.

  • The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB): Background and Possible Issues for Reauthorization and Oversight
    The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB): Background and Possible Issues for Reauthorization and Oversight (name redacted) Specialist in Aviation Policy August 10, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44587 The NTSB: Background and Possible Issues for Reauthorization and Oversight Summary The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is a small, independent federal agency with responsibility for investigating transportation accidents; conducting transportation safety studies; issuing safety recommendations; aiding victims’ families after aviation and passenger rail disasters; and promoting transportation safety. The NTSB makes safety recommendations to federal and state agencies, transportation providers, and manufacturers, which may or may not choose to implement them. In recent years, NTSB recommendations have helped build support for laws enacted to mandate positive train control systems, a safety technology now being installed on certain railroad lines; Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations to address airline pilot fatigue; state laws addressing distracted driving; federal safety standards for helicopter air ambulances; and crashworthiness standards for helicopter fuel systems, which are required under a new federal law. The NTSB was last reauthorized in 2006 when Congress approved a two-year reauthorization measure, covering FY2007 and FY2008 in the National Transportation Safety Board Reauthorization Act of 2006 (P.L. 109-443). Since then, the NTSB has addressed a number of Government Accountability

LAUDERDALE SECURITY SHOOTING FEBRUARY 2017 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 1 17 48 INTERVIEW: CAPTAIN VLADIMIR ‘VLATKO’ VODOPIVEC One year ago, on 2nd February 2016, Daallo Airlines flight 159 departed Mogadishu bound for Djibouti. In the cockpit’s left-hand seat was an experienced Serbian captain, Vladimir (Vlatko) Vodopivec, who had no idea that this was to be his final flight. Shortly after departure, a passenger, seated in a window seat in the sixteenth row, detonated, either knowingly or unwittingly, the improvised explosive device concealed within the laptop computer he had brought on board – one given to him, after the screening checkpoint, by airport-based employees. The blast ripped a hole in the Airbus’ fuselage and sucked Abdullahi Abdisalam Borleh out of the aircraft. But the explosion had taken place at relatively low altitude and Captain Vodopivec was able to maintain control of the aircraft and return to, and safely land in, the Somali capital. On the anniversary of the attack, Philip Baum travelled to Belgrade to meet with the heroic commander to hear his account of the Daallo Airlines bombing. PB: How long have you been flying? VV: This was a contract for Daallo.
