Robb & Robb, LLC is a Kansas City law firm that has specialized in aviation and personal injury for the past 25 years. The firm’s primary attorneys are Gary C. Robb and Anita Porte Robb. The talented attorneys at this firm have successfully taken on multi-billion dollar corporations, insurance companies, hospitals, and the government to obtain record settlements in private helicopter lawsuits. The firm achieved $350 million for a pilot killed in a Life Flight helicopter crash, and an additional $70 million verdict for a passenger killed in that same helicopter.
Private plane crash lawsuits are very complex because the aircraft do not have the “black boxes” which commercial planes do. The regulation and enforcement of maintenance and the certification procedures are nowhere near as meticulous as they are for commercial aircraft, making these lawsuits much more challenging. Gary C. Robb’s peers have recognized him as one of the top helicopter attorneys in the country. He has spoken to various attorney groups on all types of aviation topics. In addition, Robb has written and published articles in some of law’s top magazines.
Gary and Anita both graduated from the University of Michigan Law School. Prior to graduating, they independently decided that their hearts were with plaintiffs’ causes. They knew that as plaintiff lawyers they would have the ability to provide justice to their clients and correct or eliminate hazards that cause injury or death. As a direct result of some of the cases the firm has conducted, many new and improved safety practices have been implemented nationwide. They are working to bring justice to their clients and make the world a safer place to live, one case at a time.
