(9) Family members of some victims onboard the ill-fated Flight MH370 are filing a RM4.95bil suit for compensation, against Boeing and Malaysia Airlines. Chicago-based firm Ribbeck Law Chartered, which is acting for the family members, has filed a petition of discovery in a court in Illinois, Chicago.
Monica Kelly, the lead lawyer from Ribbeck Law, said the firm which specialises in aviation law, had been approached by family members from China and Indonesia. Kelly said they spoke to family members in many countries and expected about half of those affected to take part in the suit.
“We have done many cases where wreckage was completely destroyed, or no bodies found, or wreckage found but no black boxes working. We are not relying on these things to start the legal process,” said Kelly, during a briefing to the press here.
She said such suits can take anywhere between four months to five years, but expects this case to take between one-and-a-half to two years.
The firm would focus its suit against Boeing, as they believe it was a case of equipment malfunction but could expand the defendants to include other component manufacturers or even those who trained
