AI-171 Crash Victims Seek Data, Consider US Lawsuit Against Boeing
Families of those who died in the Air India plane crash are working with a US law firm.
The firm is asking for information about the crash, like what the plane's black box says.
They want to figure out what caused the crash.
If it turns out that the plane was faulty, they may sue Boeing in the United States.
They believe this could lead to more accountability and help the families involved.
Victim families of the AI-171 crash, represented by a US law firm, will file RTI applications for flight data.
The law firm seeks to reconstruct the crash and assess potential US product liability.
The crash, involving a Boeing 787-8, occurred shortly after takeoff and resulted in 241 fatalities and 19 ground casualties.
The law firm is gathering data to determine if Boeing is at fault due to a manufacturing or design defect.
The law firm plans to file individual actions in US federal court if a product failure is identified.
