I don't have a problem with witholding crew names. An accident could well have been through no or little fault of their own. With the crazies, fruitcakes and sue-yer-@rse off mentality of the world, especially the yanks, these days, I think it is entirely reasonable that names are not released.
My point is that it was done for many years.
As to the lawyers they get the names within days after filing a lawsuit.
