Lufthansa, Germanwings parent, she has properly informed the airline Supervisory Authority (LBA) about Andreas Lubitz health? Since this weekend, the question being debated in Germany.
The co-pilot, believed to have caused the crash of the Airbus Germanwings March 24 had experienced depression and apparently undergoing treatment.
The airline Supervisory Authority claims not having been informed. Yet it is this body that issues patents flight pilots.
If there has been a failure on the part of the airline, then its liability will be incurred. And in this case, the compensation of victims can be much higher. This is explained Elmar Giemulla, lawyer. He points out that including lawyers American victims fail to exploit this situation to demand heavy damages. The sentences are much heavier in the United States and Europe, the company and its insurers generally offer larger amounts to Americans to avoid prosecution. "Everything will depend, he said, the degree of responsibility of Lufthansa."
Immediately after the crash, the company has released initial emergency aid of up to 50,000 euros per victim. There were 150 people on board.
In the end, the total amount of compensation paid could amount to several hundred million euros.
