Kentucky Federal Judge Dismisses Comair Crash Victim's Consoritum Claims

Judge Dismisses Comair Plane Crash Victim's Consortium Claims

As reported by the Lexington-Herald Leader, U.S. District Court Judge Karl Forrester has ruled that those who lost loved ones in the 2006 crash of a
Comair plane aren't entitled under Kentucky law to sue the airline for
loss of companionship. 

Kentucky is among four states that don't allow jury awards for loss
of companionship by surviving spouses. There also is no state provision
for companionship damages for adult children or their parents, although
the state does allow children younger than 18 to sue for damages when a
parent is wrongfully killed.
