Lawsuit filed in Texas over Reno plane crash

Posted on November 4th, 2011 No Comments

The first lawsuit concerning the September 16 plane crash in Reno at the National Championship Air Races was recently filed in Texas. The wrongful death lawsuit was filed by a Texas family on behalf of a spectator who was killed in the crash.

The accident involved a World War II-era plane that had been modified to fly faster. The plane crashed into a seating area at the competition, injuring at least 74 people and killing 11 people, including its pilot.

The Reno Air Racing Association, the pilot’s family, and a mechanic who worked on the air craft are named as defendants in the $25 million lawsuit. The suit claims the accident “was the predictable result of a reckless drive for speed by a risk taking pilot and crew, couple with an insatiable drive for profit by those who stood to profit from the show.”

Court finds Toys ‘R Us liable in wrongful death suit

Posted on October 18th, 2011 No Comments

Last Thursday, a jury found Toys ‘R Us responsible for the death of a woman who was injured in an accident caused by an inflatable pool slide sold in their stores.

According to the wrongful death lawsuit, the 29-year old wife and mother was sliding down their Toyquest Banzai pool slide when the bottom of it gave out and she hit her head on the edge of the pool.

The accident left the woman with severe neck and head injuries. She became quadriplegic and needed life support to survive. The seriousness of her injuries led her to be taken off life support and she subsequently passed away.

The jury ruled that the Toys ‘R Us Toyquest Banzai inflatable pool slide did not satisfy federal product regulations in the U.S., awarding the woman’s family $20.6 million in damages. The slide was imported from manufacturers in China.
