Following the September 11th attack in which four domestic passenger airplanes were hijacked and crashed in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks, Marc was chosen by the federal judge overseeing the subsequent litigation to be the Plaintiffs’ Liaison Counsel for the attorneys representing all of the personal injury and wrongful death cases consolidated into the litigation.

In the landmark case, In re Sabin Oral Polio Virus Vaccine Litigation, Marc was successful in recovering substantial damages for children and adults who contracted polio after getting the Sabin live oral polio vaccine (the Sabin polio vaccine was taken orally, as opposed to the more famous Salk vaccine which was administered through a series of injections). The result of the case was remarkable in that it established the liability of the U.S. government for mandatory regulatory violations and has become one of the most frequently cited cases defining the scope of the Discretionary Function Exception to the government’s tort liability.
Marc’s services are also sought as an arbitrator and as a mediator. He is a frequent lecturer in the United States and abroad and has authored numerous articles on matters relating to aviation and product liability issues, discovery and trial preparation, trial techniques, aviation safety, air traffic controller liability, as well as litigation and settlement strategies. Marc has served as the Chairman of the Aviation and Space Law Committee of the Tort and Insurance Practice Section of the American Bar Association as well as the Aviation Committee of the New York State Bar Association.
