A wrongful death occurs when a person is killed due to the negligence or carelessness of another individual or company. This negligence could be due to a design defect, lack of sufficient safety warning, failure to apply with accepted safety standards or a deviation away from normal standards of care.
Our firm’s personal injury lawyers in San Diego ask you to imagine how you would feel if someone close to you suffered a wrongful death due to the carelessness of someone else. Would you not want to hold those you acted negligently responsible for their actions?
That is exactly what the families of two deceased Americans — killed when an Air France plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean in June — plan to do. They are filing a wrongful death lawsuit in a Houston federal court.
Michael and Anne Harris were among the 228 passengers and crew members on board the plane when it crashed en route from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Paris, France. The wrongful death lawsuit filed by their heirs seeks unspecified damages from Air France, plane manufacturer Airbus, and equipment makers Honeywell International, Rockwell Collins and Thales SA.
The wrongful death lawsuit claims that defective parts on the Airbus 330-200 operated by Air France as Flight 447 contributed to the fatal crash and ultimately their deaths.
