John Walker and Sam Collett, III Prevail at the Louisiana Supreme Court

Partner John Walker and Associate Sam Collett, III recently prevailed at the Louisiana Third Circuit Court of Appeal and Louisiana Supreme Court in establishing the right of a helicopter owner to recover for the total destruction of a $2,000,000 helicopter used to ferry platform workers in the Gulf of Mexico. The manufacturer of a defective fuel nozzle in the helicopter's engine unsuccessfully argued that all damage claims were barred by the Economic Loss Doctrine and that our client's remedies were limited to breach of contract for the cost of the fuel nozzle.
