'Ski buddy' not liable for heli-ski death

[bstach]

Interesting law suit in which the widow of a man who died heli-skiing sued his 'ski buddy' for not properly keeping an eye on him. Court deemed the buddy not liable. Any other verdict would have had interesting safety implications.

I'm guessing the lawyer saw more money with the other client then the heli guiding company.

Kennedy was a successful trial lawyer in Colorado before his death. His wife received half his assets, according to his will, amounting to more than $18 million. She was seeking compensation for the loss of her husband’s future earnings.

 

 

That poor woman. Forced to eke out an existence on a measly $18 million
