$40 Million Settlement In Seattle Helicopter Crash

Two men injured in the 2014 KOMO helicopter crash obtained a $40 million settlement yesterday. The settlement was reached during a trial spread over the course of five weeks. Plaintiff Guillermo Sanchez and his wife were represented by the law firm of Friedman Rubin. Sanchez was represented by aviation attorney Alisa Brodkowitz, who represents victims of helicopter and plane crashes both nationally and internationally. "Seattle’s skies are now safer. Anyone operating a helicopter in downtown Seattle should be warned, risk public safety and you will pay dearly," said Ms. Brodkowitz.
