Comment on Deal with 72 Asiana passengers leaves many cases unresolved

Deal with 72 Asiana passengers leaves many cases unresolved

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — While 72 passengers have settled their personal-injury claims stemming from the crash of an Asiana Airlines flight in San Francisco two years ago, other people are continuing their legal fight with the airliner and others involved in the accident that killed three Chinese teenagers and injured nearly 200 people. There were 291 passengers and 16 crew members aboard the Boeing 777 flight that originated in South Korea when it slammed into a sea wall on approach on July 6, 2013. Dozens of lawsuits have been filed in the United States, but many foreigners aboard the flight are prevented by international treaty from suing the airliner in this country and must pursue their legal claims in Asia and elsewhere. Additionally, a Chinese family is suing the city of San Francisco for wrongful death after a rescue truck responding to the crash accidentally ran over and killed Ye Mengyuan, 16, as she lay injured on the tarmac.
