Remembering Trevor Cadigan: A Mother’s Story After a Helicopter Crash

In 2018, Trevor Cadigan and four other passengers died when a doorless tour helicopter plunged into New York’s East River. Improvised construction-style harnesses became deadly, locking passengers in place as the helicopter tipped on its side. Robb & Robb represented Trevor’s family in a wrongful death case, holding the flight operator, aircraft owner, and equipment manufacturer accountable. A jury awarded a record-setting $116 million, providing justice for Trevor and his family after this tragic, preventable accident.

Trevor’s mother shares her heartfelt memories of her son and the profound impact of his loss. She speaks candidly about her journey through grief and how Robb & Robb guided her every step of the way, providing support, advocacy, and reassurance during one of the most difficult times in her life.
