"The complaint alleges that the defendants operated the helicopter with willful and wanton disregard for passenger safety, failed to maintain the helicopter in a safe condition, and ignored safety procedures in accordance with industry standards."
"Aviation safety is not a choice, it is a responsibility, said Camprubi Montal. No other family should have to endure the loss our family has experienced."
"The doomed tourist helicopter that broke apart mid-air Thursday before plunging into the Hudson River, killing all onboard, was not equipped with a black box."
A civil lawsuit has been filed against New York Helicopter Charter Inc. and its owner, Michael Roth, for failing to maintain a helicopter that crashed on April 10, 2025. The crash resulted in the deaths of Agustin Escobar Canadas, his wife, and their three children. The lawsuit claims negligence in maintenance and pilot response, seeking compensatory and punitive damages. The family’s attorney emphasizes the importance of aviation safety, stating that no other family should suffer such a loss. The helicopter was reportedly not equipped with a black box.
