The estate of the pilot Ara George Zobayan is being sued by Vanessa Bryant.
She believes it was pilot error that was the reason the tragic accident took place. Zobayan’s family has answered the lawsuit by saying it wasn’t his fault because the passengers knew the risk.
TMZ Sports has the details.
The relative of pilot Ara George Zobayan, who also died in the crash, has answered Vanessa Bryant’s lawsuit against Ara and the helicopter company, Island Express, saying, “Any injuries or damages to plaintiffs and/or their decedent were directly caused in full or in part by the negligence or fault of plaintiffs and/or their decedent, including their knowing and voluntary encounter with the risks involved, and that this negligence was a substantial factor in causing their purported damages, for which this answering defendant bears no responsibility.”
It is implied that Zobayan was pressured to fly even though the conditions were such they had no business in the air.
