Sorry for your loss, Kepi.
I lost a friend in a C208 in November 2012. His turbine came apart, dumping oil all over his windshield. He landed safely, but rolled into a grove of trees, where a branch came through the cockpit window, killing him. There have been allegations of shoddy maintenance in that event also.
Is it really cheaper to pay the lawsuits and replace the aircraft than to keep it properly maintained in the first place?
