They had to have some type of liability insurance. Maybe someone here has more knowledge of the type of coverages are required. I curious as to what their “per occurrence” payouts are as flight operations are generally touted to be safer for passengers than automobile accidents on a per trip/mile basis.
I understand, but liability coverage is not going to cover the wrongful death of 9 people. The insurance company will cover some up to the maximum of their policy. The helicopter company will be responsible for the rest.
They will probably sue for 20+ million altogether.
