VINCENT GENOVA QUOTED IN CTVNEWS ARTICLE; ROCHON GENOVA HAS NOW BEEN RETAINED BY 12 PASSENGERS

Here is an excerpt from the article published March 13, 2025:

Vincent Genova, head of Rochon Genova’s Aviation Litigation Group, confirmed to CTV News Toronto that he has been retained by 12 Canadians who were on-board Flight 4819 on Feb. 17 when it crash landed on the runway, ending up on its roof. There were 80 people on that flight, including 76 passengers.

“Some American passengers contacted me, but I referred them to a U.S. attorney with whom I worked collaboratively in the past on other aviation cases. We intend to do so again in the case,” Genova said via email.

“A decision was made not to commence a class action for various strategic reasons that I cannot share,” Genova said.

DELTA “OFFERS” $30,000 TO PASSENGERS OF DELTA FLIGHT 4819

Delta Airlines has emailed “offers” to pay passengers of Flight 4819 the sum of $30.000 “with no strings attached.” Passengers can proactively activate accounts at JP Morgan or simply wait for cheques to be mailed to them if no action is taken within 15 days.

To be clear, this payment is not to be considered by passengers as a offer to settle their claims against the airline. The money should more accurately be described  as an advance payment to help passengers offset immediate financial burden they will undoubtedly encounter in the aftermath of the crash.

Passengers who have not yet retained Rochon Genova should reach out as soon as possible so that your rights are fully protected. The aviation team at Rochon Genova will secure a fulsome and timely settlement for passengers who have suffered injuries and other losses.

What damages are available to injured passengers?

Passenger Compensation

Passengers can be compensated for the following against an airline:

• Damages for pain and suffering;
• Loss of income;
• Cost of treatment and rehabilitation;
• Mental health treatment if connected to a physical injury.

Provided that the passenger’s damages total below approximately $280,000 CAD, the passenger does not need to prove that the airline was liable. If damages exceed $280,000 CAD, liability is an issue that must be dealt with.

Delta has announced that they are making advance payments to all passengers affected by the crash, however it is important to note that these advances are not settlement offers but rather are designed to help passengers offset any immediate financial hardship. The payments will be deducted from any compensation that the passengers ultimately receive for their injuries and other losses.

The airline can be found liable, among other reasons, if there was pilot error, poor training or an operational failure. In addition, the following might also be liable:

• Air traffic control and the airport, especially in cases of bad weather, miscommunication or improper runway maintenance;
• The aircraft manufacturer, if there is evidence of deficiency with regard to the aircraft;
• Any other entity that may have had contact with the aircraft before or during the flight and after landing.

Claiming and proving damages against an airline, air traffic control, the airport, the airline manufacturer and other parties is a complicated process involving sophisticated entities. Rochon Genova specializes in aviation law. We have a proven track record in handling complex claims including, among others, the Ukraine International Airlines PS752 tragedy where we represent the families of 73 passengers who perished.

We have already been retained by some of the passengers of Delta Air Lines flight 4819. We invite you to contact us today for a free consultation.
