Mike Slack and Ladd Sanger made headlines across the nation filing suit against Fort Worth-based AMR Corp., subsidiary American Airlines Inc. and affiliate Corporate Airlines of Smyrna, Tenn., a commuter airline that does business as American Connection., on behalf of a survivor of American Connection Flight 5966, which crashed in Kirksville, Mo., in October 2004. Corporate Airlines is known today as RegionsAir Inc.

The Austin Business Journal recently featured Donna Bowen in an article about the Vioxx verdict. Written by new legal reporter Jonathan Selden, himself an attorney, the article stated, “Austin law firm Slack & Davis LLP is one of the area’s major players in Vioxx litigation, reviewing hundreds of cases from all over the U.S.”

Ladd Sanger and Rusty Allman were quoted in a Portland Oregonian article written by John Snell about the dangers of MU-2 aircraft. A spate of deadly crashes in 2004-2005 caused the FAA to require MU-2 pilots to undergo more intensive training. Sanger currently represents the families of several MU-2 crash victims. Allman has over 500 hours piloting MU-2s and says the aircraft… “is so unaerodynamic that when an engine fails or has any other problem at all, it’s very difficult to keep in the air.” Sanger also received coverage in the Rocky Mountain News about an MU-2 crash in the Denver area.
