Police helicopter crew sue Airbus due to hard landing injuries.
While on holiday in the Caribbean I read a press report about a police helicopter which had a hard landing a while ago, and the crew were suing Airbus for injuries
The press news doesn't say what their injuries were?
Did Airbus pay them? What did the accident report say?

Hard to imagine how severe their injuries were if they hit the ground from 4 ft going backwards!
And of course the aircraft was maintained i.a.w the manufacturers instructions during its whole life and for a salt laden environment once it arrived in the Caymans including marinisation?

Poor maintenance protocols in a maritime environment - sounds pretty standard for the Caribbean

Did the pilot, and pc start flying again in the new aircraft? The AAIB Report states that the pilot in command was 58 in 2019, so he may have now retired due to age?
Can't see they reason for the claim, as the AAIB report states in its CONCLUSION that the failure was due to corrosion by salt moisture,

Thanks for the report 212man. The seat are a crash collapsable type I believe. Wonder what the claim states about the injuries.

You can sue for damn near anything - the hard part is actually recovering money - enough money to make it worthwhile while paying all the legal fees.
So, did Airbus pay anything?
On this side of the pond, we have a big issue with frivolous lawsuits - unless the defendant can win a summary judgement, it's often cheaper for the insurance to settle than to go to court and pay all the lawyer fees (which of course what the people filing the frivolous lawsuits are hoping for).

Police said no injuries.
Press coverage including pictures taken on the day of the bounce with the crew inspecting the damage. Police stated there were no injuries!

More news regarding the payout to the RCIP to partly cover the cost of a new aircraft.

Court documents
Noticed in the press link on the last post there is court page link. If the pilot was injured, how did continue flying in the EC145 new aircraft?
This is the court document.
