PLANE CRASH - On September 12, 2001 a flightseeing tour to the Mayan ruins in Chichen Itza, Mexico was arranged for University of Washington football fans on a Holland America Cruise. The cruise was ar ... ranged around the UW vs. Miami football game. Aero Ferinco was the local commuter airline which was hired by Holland America and tickets were sold to passengers by Holland America. The aircraft, a Czech made, Russian surplus Let 410, crashed on takeoff from Chichen Itza on the return flight and all 16 on board were killed. Our law firm was retained by the families of 8 of the 14 fans that were on the flight. Lawsuits were filed by our firm in Florida against the individual who sold the plane to the Mexican airline, and in Washington against the airline, the tour agency who arranged the tour and Holland America. We obtained settlements on behalf of all of our clients in the cases in Washington. Our law firm was the only firm who continued to pursue the seller of the aircraft in Florida after our clients and the other plaintiffs settled in Washington. After 9 years of litigation, that case was settled in early 2010 by way of a confidential settlement.
