• Fraud
  Boeing’s guilty plea to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge related to two fatal 737 Max crashes is expected to strain its relationship with Middle Eastern customers, with industry leaders citing lost trust and confidence in the airline manufacturer. “Much more evidence has been presented over the last five years that demonstrates that the culture of Boeing putting profits over safety hasn’t changed,” said Robert Clifford, founder and senior partner at Clifford Law Offices and lead counsel in the civil litigation against Boeing.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  Premises liability laws exist to ensure that property owners take appropriate care of their properties and prevent injuries to visitors, guests, and customers. The law defines different types of visitors and the duty of care a property owner owes to each type. Some property owners may also have unique liability concerns, such as attractive nuisances or facilities open to the public. If the property owner failed to take reasonable care of the property or failed to warn about a known hazard you were likely to encounter on the property, the property owner is liable for your damages, and you may be able to recover compensation in a premises liability lawsuit.
• Property Damage
  Robert A. Clifford served as liaison counsel for 9/11 property damage clients. In addition to the $1.2 billion in subrogation settlements achieved, this case is historic because it prompted a change in the law on the federal court’s subpoena power, which previously extended only 100 miles from the court, and now, as a result of the efforts of Mr. Clifford and his team, provides for national subpoena power. This change in the law was integral to the case because it allowed the Clifford Law Offices’ team to take the deposition of a key person – the ticket agent who let one of the terrorists through airport security – which was critical in demonstrating that checkpoint screenings at airports were decreasing while terrorism was on the rise. “I pretty much gave up my practice for the next year,” Robert A. Clifford says. “We helped the Justice Department write the regulations for the 9/11 Victims’ Compensation Fund, among other things.”
