Research the John Denver accident and see if this still holds true.

Subject: [LML] Any liability
lawsuits
As a practicing lawyer for the last 30 years (if I practice
enough I'll get it right) I have to jump into all of this wild
speculation.
1. This is America. Anyone with a
filing fee and the ability to sign his name can sue anyone about
anything.
2. The legal standard in any lawsuit over an
airplane accident is whether the defendant's negligence (if any) was the
proximate cause of the plaintiff's injury. A jury gets to
decide.
3. I am not aware of any case in which the builder
of an experimental aircraft has been sued as a result of a crash of an
airplane he sold to the plaintiff.
4. You can get hit by a
meteorite at any moment. Get a life.
