Case Details
Jury verdict for the family of pilot Dr. Ken Gottlieb, killed in a Cessna 182 crash. The NTSB initially ruled pilot error, but the firm proved the crash was caused by a mechanical problem with the pilot's seat due to improper maintenance by an unlicensed mechanic.
Additional Notes
The verdict is believed to be a record amount in California for the death of someone over age 65. The mechanic refused to surrender his license despite the verdict.
