Personal Injury Law

A South Carolina homeowner has filed a lawsuit after a small plane crashed into his home last July, destroying it and killing the three passengers. The suit alleges the pilot was not qualified or approved to fly the plane and accuses the plane leasing company of “failing to ensure the pilot was properly certified and for not grounding the plane when they knew [the pilot] would operate it past the time stipulated to when he leased the plane.” The suit is seeking $43,985 in damages to the home and loss of rental income, punitive damages to be determined by the court, and reimbursement for attorney and court fees.
