There were no fatalities in any of the SAS mishaps, and there is no valid comparison between the SAS incidents and the CO3407 accident. CO3407 was the first fatal accident of the DHC-8 Q400 aircraft.

It is also unlikely that the jurors in any potential jury trial will hear much, if anything about the SAS mishaps. For one thing, raising those incidents in conjunction with a trial examination of the CO3407 accident is not necessarily probitive, and SAS' own maintenance procedures inter-related with a landing gear component part, were determined to be the cause of those accidents, not the design, the pilot's actions, the operating procedures, etc., etc.
