New Suit
Companies sued over fatal chopper crash
The Daily Advertiser - Lafayette,LA,USA
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A helicopter crash that killed eight people in Louisiana earlier this year has spawned another lawsuit. The federal suit filed Wednesday on behalf of crash victim Andrew Mauricio's wife seeks at least $13.5 million in damages from PHI Inc., Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. and Aeronautical Accessories Inc.

The suit claims PHI installed a defective windshield on the Sikorsky S-76C that crashed in a swamp near Morgan City on Jan. 4. The National Transportation Safety Board says investigators have found evidence that a bird may have struck the chopper before it crashed.

The suit is at least the sixth filed over the crash.
