Lawsuit filed over helicopter crash - Maryland
The widower of a volunteer paramedic who died in a 2008 Maryland
State Police helicopter crash has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against
the federal government.
It's the second wrongful-death lawsuit filed as a result of the
crash. Relatives of flight paramedic Mickey Lippy filed a $15 million
lawsuit in March.
The attorney for Kenneth Mallard says he deserves compensation
because of the "negligence" of Federal Aviation Administration air
traffic controllers. Mallard's wife, Tanya, died in the crash. He's
seeking $7 million.
Four people died in the 2008 crash in Prince George's County. The
only survivor, Jordan Wells, filed a $50 million personal-injury claim
that was denied by the FAA.
