Robert A. Clifford, founder and senior partner at Clifford Law Offices and one of the nation’s top aviation and catastrophic injury lawyers, joined the Karen Conti Show on WGN Radio on September 1, 2025, to discuss airline safety, preventable crashes, and his decades of experience representing victims’ families after tragic incidents in Chicago, across the U.S., and around the world.
From the Washington, D.C. crash involving an American Airlines regional jet and an Army helicopter to the Boeing MAX8 disasters, Mr. Clifford explains the legal actions needed behind these tragedies, the complicated fights for accountability, and how litigation can drive change when companies prioritize profits over safety. Most importantly, he shares how his work provides closure and support to families facing the unimaginable.
“Families want two things: accountability and legacy. They don’t want their loved one to have perished in vain. They want the people who are responsible to either own up to it or to have a jury determine that they are.”
In his interview, Bob Clifford also weighs in on increasing medical malpractice claims, the importance of validity and expert witnesses in medical malpractice cases, and the current status of aviation safety.
