Location of Crash
This local Argentine airline crashed on takeoff from Buenos Aires when the pilots failed to correctly set the flaps, despite a warning horn blaring in their ears. Many passengers died and others suffered serious burns and other injuries. Among the victims was a young American woman whose family was faced with the prospect of attempting to obtain fair compensation for their grievous loss in the courts of Argentina. Floyd Wisner brought suit against the Argentine airline LAPA in Georgia and defeated a hotly contested motion by LAPA to transfer the action to Argentina, a motion which was argued by LAPA and defeated by Floyd Wisner, up to the Georgia Supreme Court. Wisner subsequently obtained a very favorable settlement for his clients based upon U.S. settlement values for the case.
