PHILADELPHIA - The Wolk Law Firm has obtained yet another multi-million dollar verdict for its clients in the case of Marsico Moran vs. Winner Aviation Corporation.

The verdict, a total of $11.358 million dollars was returned after a two week jury trial in Philadelphia during which The Wolk Law Firm brought an actual Cessna 337 Skymaster aircraft into a city owned parking lot for an up close and personal orientation for the jury.

The plaintiffs suffered 3rd degree burns over 35% of their bodies as the aircraft they were flying crashed into a water treatment plant after losing engine power shortly after takeoff from the Dekalb Peachtree Airport near Atlanta Ga.

Plaintiffs contended that ineffective inspections and maintenance were the cause of the power interruption.

One of the plaintiffs, a doctor, is now back to work performing cancer dermatological surgeries but the other, a female airline pilot, has been unable to rejoin her profession.

The case was tried by Arthur Alan Wolk, Cynthia Devers, Bradley Stoll and Cheryl DeLisle of The Wolk Law Firm of Philadelphia and they were assisted by Jaime Lebovitz, Ellen McCarthy and Tamara Brininger of the Cleveland based law firm of Nurenberg Paris.

The Wolk Law Firm is internationally renowned for obtaining and holding the largest aviation verdicts.

We are thankful for the our jury system because it allows a judgment of the most complicated and serious matters through the personal sacrifice of citizens willing to do their duty.
