Lawsuit Launched In Winnipeg In Fatal Plane Crash

The lone survivor of a fatal plane crash at North Spirit Lake two years ago has filed a lawsuit against Keystone Air Service and the estate of the dead pilot.
Brian Shead is claiming negligence on both parties part.
Three passengers and the pilot were killed in the January, 2012 crash.
A Transportation Safety Board investigation concluded poor weather, ice on the wings and the pilot’s inexperience landing in icy conditions contributed to the deadly crash.
The lawsuit also alleges that Keystone Air Service was negligent because it failed to provide proper training to the pilot, didn’t provide a plane that could handle the winter weather and applied pressure to its pilots to complete flights in adverse weather conditions.
None of the allegations have been proven in court.
The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages for “pain and suffering” and “loss of enjoyment of life”.
Shead is also seeking undetermined out-of-pocket expenses, as well as compensation for loss of income, belongings that were destroyed in the crash and damages for future costs of care.
