Why? I'll admit that I don't understand the specific aspects of this case, so maybe the passengers do have a legitimate claim. However, if AIG was only providing coverage for negligence and there was no negligence, then it's kind of like expecting a doctor's malpractice insurance to cover the damage when he ran a red light and hit your car.drenee said:
Lets say you are on an airplane and something mechanical happens causing the plane to land and everyone lives, but everything in the plane is destroyed by fire or water. Shouldn't the airline company pay for you things that were destroyed because they could not find the mechanical error when they we doing the routine maintenance checks?marianner said:
I dunno. I guess it depends on what your contract with the airline says. (And by purchasing a ticket, you are entering into a contract.) But it sounds like the airline has done that already anyway, at least for most passengers. And this crash wasn't caused by a mechanical failure, and from the accounts I've heard, the pilots did an outstanding job under the circumstances. Plus, I was specifically addressing the issue the insurance company, not the airline, being responsible for passengers' medical bills.cheerio said:
