Maybe he would have been able to deal with the results of the accident if he was, uhmmm......NOT SMOKING CRACK! When you fly, there is a risk of crashing - everyone knows this. Its was just an unfortunate accident...no lawsuit required.

He was a drug addict long before the crash. This is a case of pure and simple Greed!!

I had no idea that cocaine is used in the treatment of burns. Nor did I know they would prescribe all those drugs at once for his misery. HE took them. No one held a gun to his head. He was an addict..he could have relapsed at any time.

The lawsuit WAS filed before he passed away. It was amended now since his death was the result of drug usage, which is attributable to burns and pain suffered during the plane crash. Totally reasonable claim- there is solid legal precedent for it.

I disagree. Who would they sue if he jumped off a cliff, survived and had to take pain meds for that which then led to his death?? Every one is sue happy...no one takes responsiblity. He created his addiction.

This whole story is so sad. But WHY didnt they sue before he passed away. I understand survivors guilt but to me this is money going after money. AM had quit a bit there is no reason for this at all. RIP AM.

The aviation company did not put the crack pipe in Adam's hand.
