on Wife Of Learjet Crash Victim Sues Aviation Companies And Pilots' Estates at 18:52 12/10/2008 as a reply on the comment by britters886

i just know that when i lost my grandfather in a private plane crash, the only way that we could do anything with regard to money was to sue the pilot's estate. we did it with the blessings of his family and they understood that it was the only way to compensate our family for the funeral expenses and arrangements. there was no other way - the plane in his accident malfunctioned causing the crash - the pilot was not at fault, the plane manufacturer (will remain nameless) was found to be at fault. i empathize with her situation and wish people knew a bit more about things before they attacked her.

she's not money grubbing. the only way to get insurance money for your loss (to cover funeral expenses, perhaps!?) is to sue the pilot. the pilot's aviation insurance will pay out to victims' estates. she's not money grubbing, she's trying to recoup some monetary loss incurred as a result of the crash. there's no amount of money to bring a loved one back - she's just trying to get help in paying for the funeral and things like that.
