Whiteford and Peterson Law Representing Families and Businesses in Wake of Louisville UPS Plane Crash

Following the crash of a UPS cargo plane in Louisville, Kentucky, Whiteford, in partnership with Peterson Law, is representing several Kentucky families of the injured and deceased, including Grade A Recycling and its employees. The crash that occurred November 4 has left a community in mourning.
 
The firms’ legal team—led by Masten Childers III, Managing Partner of Whiteford’s Kentucky offices, and Justin Peterson, Founding Partner of Peterson Law —are leading the aggressive representation seeking to hold those accountable.
 
“This was a heartbreaking loss that impacted not only the families involved but also the broader Louisville community,” said Childers. “We intend to pursue justice for those whose lives were forever changed that day.”
 
Peterson added, “Every family deserves to know the truth and to be represented by a legal team willing to fight for them when large corporations fail to uphold their duty of care.”
 
Whiteford and Peterson Law continue to collaborate on complex catastrophic injury, wrongful death and personal injury cases across Kentucky, combining national-level litigation experience with a deep commitment to client-centered advocacy.
