Hard to see how this guy suffered a $7 Million loss when the aircraft impacted 13 stories below him. The fire was confined to the impact apartment. The most he would have had is a little smoke.
It's also hard to see how this accident was Cirrus Design's fault. Lidle flew his aircraft up the East River and tried to turn around over the river in order to avoid the controlled airspace to his North. He misjudged his position and flew into a building. The aircraft performed perfectly right up to the point of impact. So how is it Cirrus' fault?

Are you saying the problem occurred somewhere between the stick and the seat?
