I have been a trial attorney in Texas for 40 years this year. I know nothing about flying but for what I’ve learned from the good pilots here. But I do know the courtroom. This is how it will go down: The estates of the three deceased will sue the other estates. All estates will sue Atlas, Amazon and Boeing, and probably a host of others. It’s all about insurance. The case will never go to trial, and it won’t be a decision made by Atlas, Amazon or Boeing, et al. The insurers will settle it out of court and probably during court ordered mediation. Ninety-three percent, if not more, of cases settle out of court now. Arguments will be made back and forth by the lawyers as to culpability and percentages of negligence, but it will boil down to dollars and who you have hired as your attorney. And this city (Houston) has a plethora of tort attorneys that you wouldn’t want your worst enemy to meet in a courtroom. Trust me on this.
