Lawyer questions Singapore Airlines’ actions during deadly turbulent flight"
"Director of Carter Capner Law, Peter Carter, representing injured passengers on the flight, said preliminary findings released last week by the Transport Safety Investigation Bureau of Singapore raised a number of issues that point to possible fault by the airline"

"It’s looking likely that this is not a simple case of unexpected turbulence,” Carter said.
He explained that compensation is a key reason why the airline may be keeping quiet, as if the airline was not at fault, the Montréal 1999 Convention capped passenger claims at US$175,000
However if there was any degree of fault by an airline’s pilots or engineers there is no limit to a compensation claim."

The main cause of the event is the air pocket.
The question is whether there is any action by the airline SIA which cause further damage or injury to the passengers.
I think the answer is "no".

Having one death,the odds are against SIA
Now they are looking for possible loopholes to sneak in and claim till the pant drop!
what were the compensations to those who died in the crash in taiyuen airport in taiwan happened >20yrs ago?
These claims will drag for many years and SIA has to endure with it.

It's not an individual litigation where that person involved is stressed out.
In the case of SQ, it's just an employee attending court on behalf of the airline. Fight, yes, fight. That's for SQ 的 lawyers to work on while the company representative just attends and gets free lessons on courtroom protocols and some legal stuff.

When Worrld Aviation Authority comes in, SIA cannot deny responsibilities, if proven there are human errors involved, becos many foreign passengers are involved and also injured.
Thought SIA already claim all expenses etc they foot the bill.
But come trick part heard got one injury till paralyzed and beside that Ang mod elderly who die from heart attack due to his incident.
How SIA going to compensate these two?
KNS end up also " our people money to pay huh ? " Remember During Covi19 days Govt give a lot money to SIA.
This type of lawyer is an opportunist. There was no thunderstorm mentioned in the preliminary report. The flight altitude records also showed the flight was level before it suddenly rose and suddenly dived. Even the passengers said the turbulence was sudden.

Your logic is funny. Having one death by itself doesn't imply that the odds are stacked against SIA.

The last 3 passengers IE one survival and a dead couple claimed more than US$3 mio each ( undisclosed).
Their lawyers were very satisfied as compared few earliest US$260,000 each.

A Kiwi lady is paralyzed should claim at least US$ 10 mio

"Speaking at a media briefing, Iata's senior vice-president for operations, safety and security Nick Careen said the Flight SQ321 turbulence incident — which killed one passenger and injured dozens — has led to more airlines reviewing their standard operating procedures (SOPs) on safety, but no "wholesale changes" have been made in its wake.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) had updated its safety measures shortly after the severe turbulence incident involving SQ321 on May 21 —
meal service must now be completely paused, and cabin crew members have to buckle up when the seat-belt sign is turned on."
Note
SIA in-flight SOP is questionable..
Singapore Airlines turbulence: carrier may face hefty payout pressure after SQ321 flight.
Singapore Airlines is liable for up to US$170,000 per person, under a convention, which governs aviation rights and compensation to passengers after an accident
However, there can be scope for larger damages. As of Friday, 48 people remain in three hospitals across Bangkok
Where is the case lodged? Thailand?
Nice titties

Thru the passengers own lawyers
In SQ006 case, the last 3 American passengers engaged own US lawyers.

Those foreigner who are seriously injured and even died wil not be appeased. They might engage lawyers to claim high compensations.
Safety History
The airline has had seven accidents in its history, according to the Aviation Safety Network, a database that provides information on airline safety issues and accidents.

He used the words "possible failure to take the normal precautions"; “likely flying over an area of developing convective activity" which means he also does not know what had happened. Until the details are out, all talks are just a guessing game.
