Checkboard, it would appear civil action has been to foot for several years, the doctor was successful in compensation a couple of years ago.
Interesting to note that Dr Helm was awarded just under AU$ one million whist the nurse was awarded AU$ 5 million.
It was not in dispute that the crash had been caused by the negligence of the pilot and co-pilot of the aircraft (for which Pel-Air had vicarious liability).
Having just read this, any one know if this will impact on the latest ATSB review of the accident?
