Jerry Skinner is a skilled aviation litigator handling domestic and international cases. He handles all types of aviation accident cases in which catastrophic loss of life or personal injury has occurred as a result of negligence. Jerry has over 25 years of multi-district commercial airline litigation, complex tort, product liability and class-action experience.
Jerry has successfully advocated for families victimized by almost every major U.S. airline disaster since 1989, including the negotiations that resulted in the State of Libya paying an historic $2.7 billion dollar settlement to the survivors of those killed by the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
Jerry believes that Aviation law is one of the most complex areas of law and that success in this area requires not only legal and technical knowledge but also the ability to work with deeply wounded clients who need compassion as much as they need expertise.
