Liability for Germanwings Crash May Still Rest With Airline, Insurer

Legal experts say Lufthansa faces significant liability claims from the 150 persons killed in the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525, beyond the $150,000 per crash victim established by international airline rules. The claims could be much higher in countries such as the U.S. and lower in Germany. Lufthansa's insurer Allianz would pay out the claims, with Lufthansa incurring higher future premium costs. Lufthansa said it was initially paying out 50,000 euros per person to relatives of victims. Airline insurance premiums were about $1.65 billion for the industry in 2014, according to Ascend Worldwide, with premiums down by over 50% since the Sept. 11, 2011, terrorist attacks, and were not affected by the loss of two Malaysia Airline aircraft in accidents recently.

Questions about a pilots medical and psychological condition raised by Lufthansa Germanwings Flight 9525
03/28/2015
The pilot Lubitz of Flight 9525 was treated for depression at Dusseldorf University Hospital. Investigators found several torn up doctors leave notes including for the day of the flight for the 28 year old pilot, suggesting that his employer did not know about his condition. Gaps in his flight training record could also be due to this condition. The airlines industry including the FAA operate on the basis of self assessment and sharing of medical conditions on the pilots own initiative which would now come up for review. The difficulty with this is that if a pilot's license is coming up for renewal as it was for Lubitz, then potential employer action could lead to non disclosure of such risky conditions.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
