- The owner of the airplane will probably come out well on the insured value of the hull in this market.
- The recovery team, owner of the crane and barge, just won the lottery, as did the Company that stores the wreckage for the next few years.
- The passengers' claims are going to be interesting. Most reported no injury. I will update this post when I find the correct case citation for your further perusal.
- The Flight Attendants have Worker's Comp claims, unless they can tag a third party (ie someone other than their employer ... who signed off the maintenance, outside contractor?).
I figure at a minimum, Capt. Sully saved underwriters in the ball park of $1,125,000,000.
(150 wrongful death claims at $7.5 mil each, avg. Of course much worse if he had tried for Central Park and ended up on Fifth Ave.)
