The Southeast Texas Record reports that the pilot of a helicopter that crashed, injuring him and his wife and child, has sued the helicopter manufacturer, Robinson Helicopter Inc. The personal injury lawsuit alleges that the helicopter was "unreasonably and dangerously defective." Specifically, the lawsuit claims that the carburetor's heat control feature failed to work as it should have. The carburetor reportedly iced over, causing a power loss and subsequent plunge from the sky. According to the Southeast Texas Record, damages are being sought for medical care, physical impairment and disfigurement, loss of earning capacity, physical pain and mental anguish.
