re: Vanessa Bryant files wrongful death suit against helicopter owner

So you're saying the suit won't have an effect on the company? How does the policy work?

I read somewhere the company that owned the helicopter has a $100M master policy. That sounds like a lot until you take into account Kobe Bryant’s net accumulations to the beneficiaries of his estate from the now lost future earrings.

His future earnings would probably likely exceed $500M over his life expectancy. Look how much money that dipshite Magic Johnson made after he retired.

Also the legal concept of respondent superior has been around since the 1600s. The company is responsible for the negligent acts of their agents/employees.

SIAP but you have to sue everybody to get discovery, so you can review the facts of the matter. There will be more parties to the suit just to get discovery. In the end, most suits will be dropped and legal team will focus on whoever is most responsible. But to figure that out, you have to sue alot of people to get the information.

Dollars to donuts Kobe made him fly in that soup.

Maybe Kobe had life insurance that required this so they (life insurance co.) can subrogate from third party

Probably the case. I know a person who got t-boned while driving. His health insurance refused to help him out until the auto insurance of the person who hit him would pay up.

You know why it was filed.

At the same time, I can see Kobe in the backseat telling the pilot to hurry up and get him there yada yada.

We will never know

I was massively downvoted when I said the lawsuits from this were going to be nasty.

And here we are.

You better bet if Kobe owned that helicopter his estate will also be facing some massive lawsuits.

It was your terrible timing, not the Captain Obvious statements that got you downvotes.

The victim here is the pilot. Can you imagine being told to kill yourself or be labeled a racist and lose your job

This is so dumb, the pilot has a duty for fly safely and within his capabilities based on the aircraft and the weather. Period.

I don't know any of the facts, but asking to find them out and determine if the company may be at fault or has a history of being too aggressive doesn't seem like a terrible idea.
