Alireza Alivandivafa - Personal Injury Involving Aircraft - Mediation & Arbitration Services

Mediation & Arbitration for Aircraft Accident, Injury & Liability Cases

Resolve aircraft-related personal injury disputes with precision, discretion, and industry fluency.

Aviation personal injury disputes involve complex layers of federal regulation, technical causation, and emotional distress. Whether the incident occurred during flight, on the tarmac, or due to mechanical or pilot error, these cases demand a neutral with legal sophistication and a working knowledge of aviation operations.

Alireza Alivandivafa brings over 17 years of experience in litigation, mediation, and arbitration—including cases involving high-liability injury and transportation law. As an FAA-licensed private pilot with deep familiarity in aviation standards, Alireza offers an unmatched ability to bridge the legal and technical sides of aviation injury matters.

Why Choose ADR for Aviation Personal Injury Disputes?

• Confidentiality – Resolve high-profile or sensitive claims without publicity

• Efficiency – Avoid protracted litigation involving expert depositions and NTSB coordination

• Neutral Expertise – Select a neutral who understands aviation operations, liability, and causation

• Flexibility – Tailor settlements that go beyond what courts typically offer

Who Alireza Works With

For Plaintiffs & Injured Parties:

Aircraft injuries often involve severe trauma, life disruption, and a power imbalance with large insurers or operators. Alireza helps plaintiffs and their counsel:

• Be heard in a structured, safe setting

• Obtain validation and negotiated remedies

• Resolve claims efficiently without reliving trauma in court

For Defendants, Operators & Insurers:

Alireza understands the commercial, operational, and reputational risks involved in aviation incidents. He supports defense teams by:

• Applying realistic case valuation based on legal and industry benchmarks

• Managing multi-party negotiations

• Facilitating resolution that protects ongoing operations and insurance posture

Types of Cases Mediated or Arbitrated

• Personal injury during commercial or private flights

• Ground injuries involving aircraft maintenance, boarding, or disembarkation

• Passenger, crew, or third-party injuries related to mechanical failure, turbulence, or negligence

• Airport vehicle and tarmac-related accidents

• Claims involving FAA compliance or airworthiness issues

• Charter, FBO, or fractional ownership disputes tied to injury

• International or cross-border flight incidents

What Counsel Needs to Know (and Why It Matters)

Understanding the Legal Framework

• Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs)

• General aviation liability standards

• Commercial carrier duty of care

• Warsaw & Montreal Conventions for international flights

➡ Why it matters: These cases often hinge on nuanced regulatory interpretation, and involve overlapping state, federal, and international law. Alireza ensures the dispute is evaluated with both legal and technical rigor.

Strategic Case Resolution

• Comparative negligence and assumption of risk

• Valuation of medical expenses, loss of income, and pain/suffering

• Structured settlements or future care planning

• Confidentiality and non-disparagement terms

• Subrogation and insurer contribution

➡ Why it matters: Aviation cases require more than just legal judgment—they demand an understanding of how human error, weather, mechanical issues, and system design interact. Alireza helps both sides navigate those layers effectively.
