The first lawsuit was filed in the United States against Comar, which belonged to the plane, a failed catastrophe in Kentukka last Sunday.
According to RIA Novosti , the lawsuit was filed by the family of Rebecca Adams, one of the 49 victims of the disaster. The text of the statement of claim emphasizes that Adams suffered “terrible pain and suffering” during a fire that occurred after the airliner fall.
Disaster "could not have happened if it were not for the negligence of those who followed the equipment," the lawsuit said.
The representative of Comair Nick Miller told reporters that he could not comment on the incomplete trial. "Comair expresses sincere sympathy for everyone whom this disaster has affected. Our efforts are aimed at contributing to the investigation of what happened in every way," Miller emphasized.
A famous lawyer from Cincinnati, who has extensive experience in lawsuits with airlines, Stan Chelie said on Friday that he was also preparing a lawsuit for Comair, emphasizing that a “monstrous mistake” led to a flight of flight 5191, due to which the aircraft accelerated on a too short runway.
"The lawsuit will be based on the approval that the main responsibility for the rise of the aircraft from the too short strip lies with the employees of the Comair company," Cheli said in an interview with the local press.
He also said that the main defendants in the lawsuit will be Comar and Delta, which about a year ago began the bankruptcy process. According to the lawyer, the process of bankruptcy cannot be an obstacle to the payment of compensation to the victims of the disaster.
"If the flight was insured, payments must be made from the insurance coating amount," Cheli believes. In addition, in his opinion, representatives of the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States and the Airport of the city of Lexington should be held accountable, from where the aircraft flew out.
