Widow of Austin plane crash victim sues pilot's wife

I'd be careful suing anybody related to this whack job. The daughter of this guy was almost sounding as if he was justified in burning into the front of that building

Before I'd go suing these people for their last nickel, I'd find out if any other family members took flying lessons.

If Stacks wife didn’t know he was going to try to kill her, Ho in the fudge would she know that he was going to kill someone else?

[raybbr]

I’m curious about why you think the insurance company is going to pay off any life insurance claim on a suicide?

[Kozak]

Cat Fight....

It seems the IRS will get us.. one way or another.

[BunnySlippers]

It may bear fruit. Often it does.

[BunnySlippers]

She wouldn’t. It’s to stave off Stack’s wife profiting in any way possible.

[Touch Not the Cat]

.
Maybe she can sue the pilot’s estate and collect on his life insurance.

[BunnySlippers]

Wow, did I say life insurance? No.

[freekitty]

Exactly

[existtoexcel]

Should Stack’s wife be able to collect on any insurance policy?

I doubt if insurance will pay out, suicide and arson on the house. This guy's wife and kid got nothing.

See 29.

"...were the 9-11 victim’s families able to sue the Saudis?...I can’t remember."

No. The case was dismissed at the behest of the Department of State aka The Bush Administration. That dismissal was appealed to the Supreme Court and was herd last spring. The Obama administration sided with the defendants as well. SCOTUS upheld the dismissal. I can't remember the case name - it was class action - but I can look for it if you're interested.

[mylife]

Hasn’t Stacks wife and family seen enough trauma?

[BunnySlippers]

Forget life insurance.

What if she writes a book and lo and behold it sells. Should she profit? Suits like this will skim off anything she gets as a result of Stack’s death.

[OldDeckHand]

"It may bear fruit. Often it does."

I doubt it. The guy was already deeply in debt and owed the IRS, who - by law - gets first crack at any estate money. You can't get blood out of a turnip. That's why they sued the wife. They can attach her future earnings as well as any current assets, should they prevail at trial.

[randomhero97]

Her husband was killed by this maniac. Have you no mercy?

No, this guy was in the business of destroying people's lives.

[BunnySlippers]

So they should profit? Wow!

[brytlea]

Apparently not, according to some.

[BunnySlippers]

This suit will ensure it. Standard operating procedure.
