I bet Kobe praised the pilot and helicopter company for many many years for getting him where he needs to be on time safely. The helicopter business was providing him a great service for all those years of flying back and forth.
But in the end all it takes is one mistake or one bad decision. This was a bad decision by the pilot, so now the owner has to pay. The owner always has to pay for employee mistakes.
I don’t think it’s right, and I think the company has paid dearly, they have lost an employee too.
but surely you can understand that a widow may want the people that may have had a questionable safety policy held responsible for an accident that killed her daughter and husband.
I don’t think that’s right, but I can understand it.

What happened to accidents being accidents without bullshit lawsuits being attached?
I don’t know the specifics, but I dare say neither does anyone here
Given her wealth, I am sure it’s not about the money, but it’s about anger from a widow over the loss of a husband and daughter
I’m not saying you have to agree, I’m not even saying I agree (I mostly don’t) but surely it’s not hard to understand
You wouldn’t hold anyone accountable, or at worst only the tech and not the company he works for who may have had him rushing to the point of making the mistakes?
It’s easy to tell someone who has just lost their daughter how to feel, I guess.
All it is going to do is cause helo insurance rates to jump up which of course will push up the costs of all of our helicopter shuttle rides.
Might just have to nut up and finally buy my own.
Clearly, she's not doing this to get rich.
If the CHP grounded their choppers then the pilot should have parked it when he had the chance. He’s the one responsible for assessing the situation and making the right decision. It was no accident.
I imagine all the families affected will be going after the company.
Would that change your mind?
I’m not saying that is the case, none of us know.
My point is I wouldn’t judge someone’s actions when we know so little.
Pit Row
Again, no, I wouldn’t be lawsuit happy at all. People are suffering already and I see no benefit in adding to the stress that’s already there.
A company is responsible for the actions of its employees. Not necessarily criminally responsible, but certainly financially responsible. We have seen that with oil spills, sub prime lending, and on and on and on.
This is why companies have insurance. Because when an employee fucks up, the company and it’s insurance companies are going to have to pay up.
I was tempted to flush the entire thread, but if you would have just been more respectful with your original wording there was a conversation to be had here. I'm not sure why you chose to approach this topic with such a disrespectful and hostile tone. You can take issue with her filing the lawsuit and you can make a post about it, but you crossed a line when you started it off with an insult.
If a guy kills someone while drinking and driving here in Wisconsin, the bartender that over-served that person can be held accountable, and that’s bullshit.
There’s two sides to the story and nobody really knows what lead to the decision making of the pilot. Perhaps
it was over confidence and underestimating weather conditions by the pilot. Maybe it was pressure from the company to proceed with the fight. Either way, if there’s more stringent guidelines and regulations set in place it may prevent future incidents.
