Various Parties vs. American Airlines
On June 1, 1999 an American Airlines MD 80 crash landed at the Little Rock Airport. Sixteen people were killed and approximately 130 people were injured. The Law Offices of Peter Miller formed a partnership with a The Texas Law Firm of Bodoin, Burnside and Burge and represented the family of one decedent and 10 injured victims. Most of the cases were settled before trial. Two of the cases went to trial and resulted in satisfactory plaintiffs verdicts.
One of the cases, Kristin Mattox v. American Airlines, was tried in a Federal Court and arrived at a verdict of $10,000,000, the largest single victim verdict in the history of Arkansas Jurisprudence.
