Houston Helicopter Crash Lawsuit Filed Against Operators

Families of victims seek $50 million in damages after a helicopter collided with a radio tower, killing four people.

The crash occurred on October 20 during a sightseeing tour, resulting in the deaths of the pilot and three passengers.
The National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary report revealed the pilot was in contact with air traffic control before the crash.
Surveillance footage showed the helicopter struck the radio tower about 100 feet from the top, causing an explosion and collapse.
The lawsuit names the helicopter operator, the tower owner, and the helicopter's owner, alleging negligence and seeking accountability.
Investigations continue as the NTSB works to determine the crash's cause, with a final report expected in 18 to 24 months.
