As I posted here recently the insurers of the aircraft admitted liability shortly after the accident and the compensation claims were settled promptly.
Top accident solicitors and barristers had no need to ramp up claims here. If an aircraft falls out of the sky and injures someone on the ground, there is strict liability.
In point of fact the damages arising from death are very modest and are fixed by law. Consequential damages where the deceased person was the breadwinner for dependents are determined on a mathematical basis.
