Dear Curtis,

I would like to express my gratitude for the way you have taken care of this case. Thank you for your advice and encouragement during a time when I was completely bewildered by what needed to be done and how very much needed doing.

You and your staff made a very difficult time much easier for me and I appreciate your work on my behalf.

Dear Mr. Beckcom:

I never got a chance to say thank you for the wonderful job you did on my daughter's case. My daughter will be graduating in June from High School with cum laude status. She will be attending college at U.T. Austin and majoring in Communications. Thanks to your efforts her college education has been taken care of. Thank you again from both of us.

I know that my attorney is good because he won my case and I would recommend him to others.
Words cannot express the thanks and gratefulness that we have for Vuk and his company. His tireless efforts and aggressive style meant the world to us and he changed our lives forever. I will always be loyal and grateful to V&B for taking on my case and being committed from the beginning until the end. I highly recommend these guys with 100% assuredness that they will work hard for you and help you receive what you deserve.

I would like to thank Brian Beckcom and his staff for their professionalism and their support. . . I knew when I met Brian that he was more than qualified to handle my father's wrongful death case . . .if I needed his help again I wouldn't hesitate to call.

Just when we thought we would never find someone who would listen to our story, V&B opened their doors to us. For one month, I spoke to 25 lawyers and the answer I received was "your case is a lost case, no one will ever represent you."

I'd like to thank the staff at Vujasinovic & Beckcom for the professionalism and courtesy they displayed on my case.

I also have a heart full of gratitude for the way you presented such an excellent court case on behalf of me and my kids.

Brian, I recommend your maritime book highly. I also happily recommend you, personally.

-Captain Jim Vickers
I sat on one of your juries early this year. I observed your eloquence and complete passion....you seem to be a man of utmost qualifications.

- Juror on one of Vuk's cases (name withheld)
Vuk, it has been such a wonderful experience working with you and your staff. Thank you so much for all the hard work that you did to help my family and I survive through the most difficult time of our lives.

Phuong N.
Houston, Texas
I was injured in an auto accident in Houston, and was referred to Vuk by another attorney. I couldn't work as a result of the accident and desperately needed back and knee surgery.. . . Vuk was able to get me a generous settlement within about a year of taking my case.

Steven R.
Deer Park, Texas
After my two-year old son was killed by an 18-wheeler driver and me and my daughter were badly injured, we hired Brian and Vuk to represent us on the recommendation of another lawyer.

This was the hardest time in our lives and it was great knowing we had you there to represent us.

Top 6 Aviation Safety Issues

Wondering what the top aviation safety issues are for the United States? The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) maintains a list of their Most Wanted Transportation Safety Improvements for Aviation. Of the six issues currently listed by the NTSB, five are rated as “unacceptable response” (a red light on their dashboard) and one is rated as “Acceptable response, progressing slowly” (a yellow light on their dashboard). Every single issue is listed as requiring action by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) What are these needed improvements, and why aren’t they being addressed by our government?

Top 6 Aviation Safety Improvements

Since 1967, the NTSB has issued 4,760 aviation safety improvement recommendations, and at this time there are 449 recommendations that have yet to be implemented. According to the NTSB, the following safety improvements are the most wanted for American aviation:

Reduce Dangers to Aircraft Flying in Icing Conditions (red light status). NTSB would like to see the FAA use current research on freezing rain and large water droplets to revise the way aircraft are designed and approved for flight in icing conditions and also conduct additional research with NASA to identify realistic ice accumulations and incorporate new information into aircraft certification and pilot training requirements.
Eliminate Flammable Fuel/Air Vapors in Fuel Tanks on Transport Category Aircraft (yellow light status). Addressing this improvement would mean implementing design changes to eliminate the vulnerabilities of flammable fuel/air vapors in all transport category aircraft.
Improve Runway Safety (red light status). Desired improvements include giving immediate warnings of probable collisions/incursions directly to flight crews in the cockpit, requiring specific air traffic control clearance for each runway crossing, and requiring landing distance assessment with an adequate safety margin for every landing.
Improve Audio and Data Recorders/Require Video Recorders (red light status). Addressing these issues would include requiring cockpit voice recorders (CVRs) to retain at least 2 hours of audio, requiring back-up power sources so cockpit voice recorders collect an extra 10 minutes of data when an aircraft's main power fails, inspecting and maintaining data recorders yearly to make sure they operate properly, and installing video recorders in cockpits to give investigators more information to solve complex accidents.
Reduce Accidents and Incidents Caused by Human Fatigue (red light status). NTSB would like to see the FAA set working hour limits for flight crews, aviation mechanics, and air traffic controllers based on fatigue research, circadian rhythms, and sleep and rest requirements and develop a fatigue awareness and countermeasures program for air traffic controllers.
Improve Crew Resource Management (red light status). The objective of this improvement is to require that commuter and on-demand air taxi flight crews receive crew resource management training.

The NTSB describes the above aviation safety recommendations as “critical changes needed to reduce transportation accidents and save lives”. If these improvements are so critical to safety of American air travel, it is shocking that the government has not taken the appropriate action to implement such necessary changes.

If you or someone you love has been injured in an airplane crash, please contact Vujasinovic & Beckcom today to discuss how we can work with you to secure the justice that you deserve for your pain and suffering.
