Aircraft to be fixed not long after a hefty lawsuit is launched? I'm sure the lawyers would find it easier to get a substantial payout after an accident that writes off an aircraft, where as by fixing it the defense can play the situation down and say that the aircraft wasn't critically damaged as it is now flying again. It will not be the only reason, I'm sure there are lots, but it would add weight to the economics of fixing it even if it doesn't make direct financial sense.
