In reply to the discussion: Ambulance chasers before the bodies or plane are discovered: 1st lawsuit over MH370 [View all]TorchTheWitch
(11,065 posts)and everyone on it is dead which was admitted to by the airline. The particulars of how exactly the plane crashed thereby making everyone on it dead doesn't take away fault just like if your car hits something and kills someone or everyone on board. Even if it's your car but you weren't even in it at the time it hit something and killed someone in it it's still your legal responsibility and what you pay insurance for because the car is your property and you are responsible for what your property does to others.
WHATEVER the particulars are concerning the plane crash the airline is still legally liable regardless - it's their plane and their pilots. If it's discovered that there was something wrong with the plane that the manufacturer is responsible for or some outside maintenance company is responsible for, etc. then the airline can turn around and sue the manufacturer/maintenance company, but they're still liable for the passengers on their plane being dead simply because they owned the plane.
The point of this lawsuit and why it's been filed now is to preserve evidence from being disappeared or altered as well as to gain access to that evidence so they can't be lied to by the airline concerning what happened and why. It's for the families of the passengers to get the truth about how and why their loved one/s died. I can't see why anyone would have a problem with that especially since the airline is already liable for the deaths anyway.
