Miami, Chicago Attorneys Suing Boeing in Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Crash

4년 전 제출됨

Two years after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared, the airplane still hasn't been found, but attorneys for the passengers' families are ready to lay the blame at the door of Boeing Co. Miami law firm Podhurst Orseck and the Hays Firm in Chicago filed 30 lawsuits in Illinois state court March 2 against the Chicago-based aircraft maker, claiming the investigation into the crash has ruled out every explanation except a defect in the Boeing 777.

Lawyers are barnacles on the ship of society. Shakespeare was right about them.

>> claiming the investigation into the crash has ruled out every explanation except a defect in the Boeing 777.

The official investigations haven't ruled out ANYTHING yet and won't do so until they have actual evidence. Of course that won't stop some lawyers looking for a big payday...

I'm curious - if that's so, wouldn't those cases be thrown out as frivolous?

A couple of things: 1 Statute of Limitations coming up, so these suits are basically placeholders, 2 Some suits are filed with the assumption that the respondent will settle just to make it go away. Some might call that extortion. 3 As John (canuck44) has said, USA does not have loser-pays rules which might curtail some of the more frivolous extortions.

I think the world could save a lot of time, money and effort by having lawyers investigate every aircraft accident or incident. Then, perhaps, all these scientific-type investigators would finally see that investigations arê really quick and easy. The company/person with the most money is the cause. All investigations will be closed in a week or less.

Yup when one crashes just have the maker of the AC pay everyone. This is as stupid as the one against Vans RV aircraft after the builder who also was the pilot killed himself and his grandson after he uses silicone to seal fittings on his fuel system causing engine stoppage.

I remember when going to school on The Lycoming T53-11 engine ,the cost of the engine to the costumer was about 75% over the actual cost due to the (sue factor).Even if the accident is totally the pilots or weather's fraught the lawyers go after the manufacturers of the different components of the aircraft.

Considering nobody knows it CRASHED...

if it did crash, nobody knows WHY..

so how can we possibly blame Boeing?

If the judge that sees this case has any common sense he or she will dismiss this case FAST.

The late Melvin Belli, of San Francisco legal fame, responded to the description of his attorneys as ' a bunch of ambulance chasers'. His retort was to the effect that if they could not beat the ambulance, he'd fire them.

Also, I had a chance shortly after the incident to fly a full motion 777 with a senior training captain and we discussed the possibilities of what could have gone wrong and went over every scenario we could think of and I can tell you there is NO WAY it was a malfunction of any kind. Someone wanted this plane to vanish. This was a deliberate, very thought out, carefully planned operation. No doubt in my mind.

I think the case will be tossed out of court. The 777 is an amazingly safe aircraft. The ship in question had been in service years, ultimately, the suit should be filed against the airline for Maintainence Malpractice, if it is found that it the disappearance of MH-270 was due to a preventable defect.

Of course it probably will go that way. Paying off a nuisance suit is part of the cost of doing business. And the lawyers get 1/3 unless the settlement includes their 'costs'.

This is poignant evidence that the bar on the Bar examination is not set high enough. Clearly, unqualified people are able to obtain a legal license and then are released into society to bring ridiculous lawsuits. If this case makes it to trial I hope I’m lucky enough to be selected as a juror.

Class action Lawyers are actually boils on the bottoms of decent people. The nice thing about class action lawsuits is that the plaintiffs often end up hiring another lawyer to sue the class action lawyers for cheating them out of a larger settlement. It would be funny if it weren't so sick.

Easy with the lawyer-bashing. To the extent that families are entitled to seek lawful compensation, they must bring suit within two (2) years of the loss. And sometimes filing a lawsuit is the only way to get information that is otherwise not publicly available. Moreover, there does exist some anecdotal evidence in the public domain that the 777 may have had some serious issues with its lithium battery packs vis-a-vis fires which might ... and I do emphasize might .... serve to explain the loss of MH370.

Yes, attorneys are easy targets. The truth is these situations, well, not so much.

I would have no problem with this if we had "Loser Pay" with the caveat that if the losing client cannot pay his lawyer must. This is really no different than the poor guy walking down the street when some POS comes up and sucker punches him. The guy that did it gives up a few weeks to a judge and the guy punched may be out of work for months with his medical bills piling up.

This case is almost frivolous given the current evidence which appears that the pilot was responsible. Somehow Boeing is now responsible for the mental health of those flying it. Again Boeing needs to go after the lawyers who have filed this without reasonable cause or good faith. They will find some "Rent-a-Witness" and hope to get a low information jury but when they lose they need to pay Boeing's costs.

The 777 doesn't use Lithium batteries it uses Ni-Cad batteries. The Lithium batteries came into play as CARGO not being used. They are dangerous to a aircraft in flight if damaged or not properly handled. With that said I'm not saying they played a role in this crash or not and only time will tell.

I am unaware of any options to use Lithium Ions on the 777, the 787 does but all reference I have states the 777 used Ni-Cad.

Perhaps.
But where is the justice if a lawsuit is won by any party based on absolutely zero evidence and only speculation.

Another Lionel Hutz chasing a proverbial ambulance does not create justice. It only stretches it so someone can line their pockets.

And the price is only passed on to the consumer in the long run.
