A lawsuit has been filed in a Paris court in the case of an Aeroflot Superjet 100 plane crash

Our aviation lawyers, representing the families of victims in the Sukhoi Superjet 100 air crash, have filed a lawsuit in the Paris court. This legal step is aimed at establishing justice and securing compensation for air crash victims. The defendants include seven foreign companies that manufactured aircraft components, as well as Aeroflot, which operated the aircraft.

The Sukhoi Superjet 100 air crash occurred on May 5, 2019, at Sheremetyevo Airport. The aircraft, operating an Aeroflot flight, made an emergency landing that resulted in the deaths of 41 people. Disappointed by the outcome of the Russian investigation, the families turned to international courts and launched an international legal proceeding.

🏛️ Cause of the Tragedy: Design Flaws and Technical Failures

In the lawsuit filed in the Paris court, our attorneys argue that the crash was caused by design flaws and component defects. The aircraft failed to meet flight safety standards, particularly under lightning conditions, which led to multiple system failures.

An in-depth review of the technical documentation revealed serious component defects that played a key role in the accident. These findings formed the basis of the compensation for air crash victims claim and the evidence of manufacturing liability.

⚖️ Manufacturer Responsibility and Safety Standards

The defendants include five French, one German, and one American company, including Leach International Europe, Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse SAS, Safran Landing Systems, and Curtiss-Wright Corp. All of them supplied components that failed to comply with flight safety standards.

Our legal team is demanding that the manufacturer responsibility be officially recognized for delivering technically unreliable equipment. We are convinced that manufacturer responsibility must be enforced in court, especially in cases involving human lives.

✈️ A Precedent of International Importance

This international legal proceeding may become a significant precedent in litigation involving aircraft with design flaws. Holding foreign suppliers accountable and obtaining a ruling from the French court could set a new standard for such cases.

We believe that the proven design flaws and supplier negligence deserve a fair ruling. The lawsuit in the Paris court is part of our broader strategy to protect families and uphold quality standards in the aviation industry.
