Relatives of Trevor Cadigan, who died in a 2018 helicopter crash in New York City, have settled their wrongful death lawsuit for $90 million, choosing to forego a higher jury award of $116 million to end the case. The settlement aims to ensure accountability and highlight unsafe helicopter practices. An investigation showed improper passenger restraint systems contributed to the crash. FlyNYON, the company behind the flight, has reported improvements in safety measures since the incident, including equipment upgrades and enhanced pilot training.
"Their primary objective was twofold, and that is, one, to ensure accountability for what happened to Trevor, and also to shine a bright light on dangerous helicopter operator practices..."
"The introspection and self-critical analysis we have undertaken in the last six-and-a-half years have shaped our view of what it means to be an industry leader in safety."
