Family of Air France crash victim seeks to sue

by Jonathan on August 21, 2009

The family of Clara Amado, an Air France flight attendant who died on the June 1 crash of flight 447, is seeking legal action against Air France.

Clara Amado, 31, was one of the 228 people that were on board Air France flight 447 when it crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on June 1, killing all 228 on board.

Jean-Claude Guidicelli, the lawyer, who’s acting for Amado’s relatives, said that her family was the second to call legal action against Air France. He is seeking to get the carrier placed under formal investigation before September 24, the day when Air France and families of the victims are scheduled to meet for the fourth time since the crash.

“We want answers to our questions and we want to know the exact causes of the accident and we want people to assume their responsibilities,” said Jean-Claude Guidicelli.

A judicial inquiry into involuntary homicide has also been opened in relation to the crash.

Although Air France declined to comment on the case of Amado’s family, they said that they are cooperating fully with all investigations.
