Alireza Alivandivafa - Aviation Torts - Mediation & Arbitration Services

Mediation & Arbitration of Aviation Personal Injury & Property Damage Claims

Resolving aviation-related torts with legal depth, technical fluency, and discretion.

Aviation tort claims—whether personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death—are among the most complex and sensitive areas of litigation. These cases often involve a tangle of state tort law, federal aviation regulations, operational evidence, and insurance frameworks.

Whether you represent an injured party, defend a flight operator, or handle aviation liability claims, Alireza Alivandivafa brings the specialized expertise needed to resolve high-stakes aviation tort disputes.

A licensed pilot and seasoned ADR professional with over 17 years of experience, Alireza understands the legal, regulatory, and emotional dynamics of aviation-related injury and accident claims.

Why ADR for Aviation Tort Cases?

• Confidentiality – Preserve reputations and avoid public scrutiny for operators, manufacturers, and injured parties

• Efficiency – Save time and legal expenses compared to prolonged litigation and expert-heavy discovery

• Specialized Knowledge – Resolve disputes with a neutral who understands FAA regulations, aircraft operations, and tort law

• Creative Outcomes – Tailor resolutions to include insurance payouts, future care plans, or structured settlements

Who Alireza Works With

For Plaintiffs & Claimants:

Injured passengers, ground crew, bystanders, or families of decedents often face an uphill battle understanding liability, causation, and regulatory nuances. Alireza helps:

• Clarify legal theories (negligence, product liability, premises liability)

• Bridge communication between legal and aviation professionals

• Provide a forum to be heard while still focusing on efficient resolution

• Manage emotionally charged dynamics with compassion and fairness

For Defendants & Insurers:

Aircraft operators, charter companies, FBOs, flight schools, and manufacturers rely on ADR to:

• Navigate claims involving Part 91/135/121 operations

• Evaluate comparative fault, pilot error, or maintenance lapses

• Resolve FAA-sensitive issues confidentially

• Facilitate settlement of multi-party or cross-jurisdictional claims

• Types of Aviation Torts Mediated or Arbitrated

• Personal injury or wrongful death involving passengers or crew

• Runway excursions, hard landings, or crash landings

• Mid-air collisions or near-miss claims

• Ground operations injuries (propeller strikes, hangar door failures)

• Property damage from aircraft operations (hangar fires, ramp collisions)

• Drone-related injuries or surveillance torts

• Turbulence or in-flight injury liability

• Airport premises liability claims

Why Aviation Torts Are Different

➡ Federal Preemption & Regulation: FAA rules often override state law—but must be interpreted carefully in ADR

➡ Technical Evidence: Piloting decisions, flight data, ATC records, and maintenance logs all impact liability

➡ Emotional Weight: Injuries and deaths from aviation incidents are often traumatic and high-profile

➡ Multi-Party Dynamics: Aircraft owners, charterers, maintenance providers, and insurers may all be involved
