Pictured above: June 27, 2019—BBC Reporter Jonathan Coffey and BBC Team filming Panorama interview of Sanjiv Singh in Los Angeles on alleged use of releases by aviation insurers in Boeing Lion Air JT610 crash.

Sanjiv N. Singh has been practicing law since 1997, and has extensive experience litigating complex matters against large entities in a wide range of subject matters including wrongful death, catastrophic injury, commercial and personal defamation, breach of contract, fraud, conversion, trade secret misappropriation, among others.

He was most recently co-lead counsel in settling multiple claims against The Boeing Company for the crash of Lion Air Flight JT610, and continues to settle remaining unresolved 737 MAX cases. He was most recently featured in the critically acclaimed Doubleday book Flying Blind, now considered the definitive account of the Boeing 737 Max catastrophes.

He was also co-lead counsel advocating for child safety, and in 2019-2020, identified, filed, and settled a high profile double fatality case (Hickman et al v. Los Angeles County et al.) for the loss of a one month old and seven year old against Los Angeles County. The allegations of the Hickman lawsuit deal with some of the same individuals, agencies and alleged misconduct depicted in the Netflix documentary Trials of Gabriel Fernandez which just aired in 2020. Sanjiv was also lead counsel for the whistleblower Dennis Finn who discovered the alleged misconduct at issue in the Hickman case—that case was set for trial in 2022 but settled for an highly favorable seven digit amount prior to trial based on groundbreaking depositions taken by Sanjiv and his team including an all day questioning of the former head of the DCFS during the time of the alleged misconduct (Finn v. Los Angeles County et al.)

Sanjiv was lead counsel in a major construction fatality case involving the Apple Campus 3 in Sunnyvale and in 2020 achieved a large unprecedented 8 digit settlement for the three minors and surviving spouse.

Sanjiv has been interviewed and quoted by The New York Times, BBC, and Bloomberg and other major news agencies.
