The tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of a Nigerian businessman and five others in Southern California has sparked legal action as the family of the deceased pursues justice against the charter company involved. Abimbola Ogunbanjo, a prominent figure in Nigeria’s business community, along with Herbert Wigwe, CEO of Access Bank, and their family members, lost their lives in the crash on February 9. Now, Abimbola Ogunbanjo’s family has filed a lawsuit in San Bernardino County Superior Court, alleging negligence on the part of Orbic Air LLC, the charter company responsible for the ill-fated flight.
According to reports, the lawsuit contends that the flight should have been grounded due to the perilous weather conditions prevalent in the Mojave Desert region at the time of the crash. Despite the presence of a hazardous mix of snow and rain, the helicopter was reportedly allowed to take off, leading to the tragic loss of lives. Legal representatives for the Ogunbanjo family assert that this catastrophe could have been avoided if proper safety protocols had been followed.
The lawsuit seeks not only accountability but also compensation for the wrongful deaths of Ogunbanjo and the other victims. It highlights the devastating impact of the crash on the families left behind and emphasizes the need for stricter regulations and adherence to safety standards within the aviation industry. As investigations by the National Transportation Safety Board continue to unfold, the lawsuit serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing passenger safety above all else.
