Not that it came from nowhere, but that it was covered by insurance
premiums
which may or may not have gone up. Actually, there'd probably be a
deductible.

And pigs flew that night. shrug

The plaintiff made the choice to accept a payment rather than having a
judge
award them: nothing, less, the same, or more.

And the result is the same as if the judge had awarded the money.

No need to be condescending.

It upsets me when people decide to argue points without bothering to read
the few messages in the thread. I'm sure it would upset you too.

Still equates to American failure to accept personal responsibility in my
book. If I slip and fall on the ice, I say "whoops, how clumsy of me", not
"who's
fault is this? who can I sue?"

This wasn't a slip and fall. The allegation was that the design of the UL
was wrong, not that he slipped and fell from the sky.

First, a good reason why kit builders shouldn't offer "ready to fly"
options
unless they go the route of full certification (though I guess even that
offers no protection).

So much for the Sport Pilot initiative...

And lastly, as far as litigation goes... it's always cheaper to kill than
to maim
