This tragedy has made me think very hard. I am a fairly new less than one year FO on my first 121 gig, and Im looking for peoples thoughts.

My question revolves around lawyers, Now we all know tragidies like this result in lawsuits, but it seems recent ( mabye since the Concorde incedent) that lawyers are after the crews families also. Seems today if somthing like this happens and you are not here to defend yourself and you get the blame because the pilot error (weather real or not), how do you protect your family should this happen. Ive heard they can sue your estate, and Im wondering what this would mean for my wife, children, ect. Can anyone shed some light on this? Are there ways to keep our family seperate, if God forbid I( or any of us) was ever involved in a tradgedy like this one, I know it seems a harsh reality, but I wonder how many 121 pilots out there think about what could happen. I appriciate any responses. Fly safe and To the crew and victims of 3407 Godspeed and Rest in peace.
