Vanessa Bryant sues helicopter operator over crash that killed Kobe Bryant, eight others

LA Times  

Lakers legend Kobe Bryant was among nine people who died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas on Jan. 26. The complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Fillmore-based Island Express Holding Corp. and Island Express Helicopters alleges that pilot Ara Zobayan, who also died in the crash in Calabasas, failed “to use ordinary care in piloting the subject aircraft” and was negligent. “Defendant Island Express Helicopters authorized, directed and/or permitted a flight with full knowledge that the subject helicopter was flying into unsafe weather conditions,” the lawsuit says. Kobe Bryant, the complaint alleges, died “as a direct result of the negligent conduct of Zobayan” for which “the company is vicariously liable in all respects.” The 27-count complaint, which also names Zobayan’s estate as a defendant, seeks compensatory and punitive damages. The lawsuit alleges the company did not provide “adequate training and/or supervision” after the FAA citation “to ensure the negligent action did not re-occur” and claims it “promoted and engaged in unnecessary and needlessly risky means of transport under the circumstances.” The complaint also faults the company for not having “an adequate safety policy for cancellation of flights into known unsafe weather conditions.” Another count in the lawsuit accuses Island Express of negligence for not installing a terrain alarm system in the helicopter.
