Of course, if I were on a jury, I personally wouldn't assume that just
because there was an accident (assuming that at some time there is an
accident and things end up in court) that it's somehow the original
builders fault for building an airplane that could be crashed. But
that's me.

Of course, the moment the attorneys found out you were a pilot
you'd be dismissed from selection on this case. Can't go having
peopel that actually KNOW something about the subject they are
deciding on. So much for "jury of your peers."


True story: I work in an office building on the ring road around the
Snipola
The point being, there is no telling what someone will sue for, eh?

Yep. Long story short. I was riding a motorcycle and a guy pulled
that infamous opposing left turn trick on me. I missed hitting him,
but my momentum caused me to slide just into the lane next to me,
whereupon a car coming up behind me in that lane clipped the
handlebars and flipped me. I had already stopped and he was going
like maybe 10 mph max when he hit. I was not injured.

Guess who tried to sue who? Yep. The guy in the car that hit me,
they guy on the motorcyle, tried to sue me and they guy that cut
me off for "medical expenses."

I let my insurance company take care of it. In hindsight, and being
much wiser about such things, I would not have just handed it to my
insurance for them to just pay the guy off. If it were to happen
today, I would find any way within my power to make the guys life as
miserable as possible for filing such a blatently obviously frivolous
lawsuit.
