Media Reports Lawyer's Options For Copter Crash Victims


Posted on Apr 06, 2009

In a front page story, the Telegram weekend edition reported advice given by St. John’s lawyer Ches Crosbie to family members of those who perished in the Cougar/Sikorsky helicopter crash.  On March 12, 2009 Cougar Flight 491 hit the ocean with tremendous force 11 minutes after losing oil pressure, killing 17 of the 18 on board.

Mr. Crosbie had posted a blog discussing legal options for family members, and responded to questions from a Telegram reporter.  Mr. Crosbie is a well known St. John’s personal injury and class action lawyer.

Mr. Crosbie was reported as saying that the bar on lawsuits under the Workers Compensation legislation likely would not apply.  For more, see:  Telegram article, Cougar’s Response Tardy?, and Families Review Legal Options in Wake of Copter Crash.
