Helicopter company involved in Kobe Bryant crash hit with 2 new lawsuits
The two families are represented by the same attorney, and their complaints are very similar.
They claim the helicopter operator Island Express and its holding company "negligently and carelessly breached their duty to own, lease, manage, maintain, control, entrust, charter, and operate the Subject Helicopter in a reasonable manner," according to court documents. Island Express, which in January suspended all flights following the crash, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
Federal investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board said in a their preliminary report in February that the wreckage exhibited no signs of an engine failure when it impacted a hillside northwest of Los Angeles at about 184 miles per hour amidst dense fog."Our investigators have already developed a substantial amount of evidence about the circumstances of this tragic crash," Robert Sumwalt, chair of the NTSB, said in a press release in February.
