I've seen several small aircraft accidents in the news and it started me thinking about the law suits against aircraft companies and engine manufactures when something goes wrong (even when the machine is found to be working). Are the litigations in this case, the actual family sueing the companies? Or is it lawyers bring cases against the company in the families name (even if the family doesn't want it).

I've been a pilot for many years and try to check any aircraft I fly, but I know there is a risk when I fly that something can go wrong. I wouldn't want my family sueing just for the hell of it.

Just food for thought,
