American Airlines plans to ask the judge in their federal bankruptcy case for clearance to throw out the union contracts if attempts to reach cost-cutting agreements fail, according to the Denver Post. The lead bankruptcy attorney for the airline has indicated that the airline and union have negotiated in good faith, but union officials have said that they believe the company has intended to ask for the contracts to be thrown out from the start. Federal law allows for the company to throw out the union contracts as long as it first tries in good faith to negotiate with the union for a lower-cost deal, and can show that they need the financial relief. The pilots, flight attendants, and ground workers unions have all been expecting the company, which filed for bankruptcy in November, to ask for relief from the contracts.
Are you a small business owner who is struggling to keep your doors open in a poor economy? Contact a Parker bankruptcy lawyer to discuss your legal options.
The news often reports on bankruptcy actions for celebrities and huge corporations, such as airlines and auto manufacturers, but it is important to understand that bankruptcy can also be a way to keep struggling small businesses operating while they get back on track. There is a belief by many people that bankruptcy automatically indicates that the business is closing; in reality, the goal of a chapter 11 bankruptcy is to provide financial relief by reorganizing debts and other finances in order to make it possible for the business to keep its doors open. The benefit to creditors is that they are more likely to recover some of the money they are owed than if the business closes, and the business obviously benefits by staying afloat.
If your business has been struggling with bills and debt, bankruptcy may be an option to help keep your doors open. Bankruptcy law is extremely complicated, and you need a dedicated Parker bankruptcy lawyer to explain your options, and help you understand and decide whether it may be the best option for you.

In its ongoing coverage of Tom Martino’s bankruptcy proceedings, the Denver Post reports that an airplane hangar that he owns is going to be sold publicly as part of the liquidation of assets. The Post reports that Mr. Martino has objected to the sale of the hangar, but under his Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the court appointed a trustee, who oversees the asset liquidation. Mr. Martino’s attorney has indicated that he has settled a number of his debts, and believes that the sale of the hangar should not be necessary, but according to Judge Michael Romero, because the proceedings are Chapter 7 bankruptcy and not Chapter 11, the individual does not have control over the liquidation process. Most of the debts involved resulted from real estate deals that did not come out the way he had hoped with the poor economy.

A Cherry Creek bus driver was cited early this morning for “failing to yield the right of way.” The driver’s failure resulted in an accident that left two students injured. According to a report by The Denver Post, the students were not seriously injured and both were treated and released at the scene. One student, a 17-year-old from Regis High School, was driving a Jeep Liberty that crashed into the bus. The other student was a middle school student who was riding on the bus. It is unclear at this time if the bus driver will be allowed to continue his driving duties.
Thankfully, the school buses many of our children ride on everyday are some of the safest vehicles on the road. Compared to every other vehicle on the road the yellow school bus is the least likely vehicle to be involved in an accident. This means that fewer people are injured and die in accidents involving a school bus. According to a report by the NHTSAthat spanned 13 years from 1991-2004, an average of 12 people a year died in school bus related accidents. There simply is no comparison when evaluating death tolls involving any other vehicle on the road.
To say that yellow school buses are the safest vehicles on the road is not to say that they aren’t ever involved in accidents. As the account of the accident above attests, it is possible for a child to be injured in a school bus accident. If your child has been involved in an accident while riding a school bus, you need to speak to a Parker personal injury attorney about all your legal options. Parker attorney, Brian Daniel, has the knowledge and experience you need. Contacthis offices today at (303) 951-0233.
