The Drug Recall Lawyer Blog report on the continued trouble plaintiffs have had in the Seroquel lawsuits pending in the MDL and it a few state courts.

Injury lawyers on behalf of the family of a flight nurse killed in a helicopter crash in Decatur County, Indiana filed a lawsuit in Indianapolis last week. The lawsuit seeks damages against Rolls-Royce, the helicopter's engine maker and Decatur County REMC, the utility responsible for maintaining power lines in the area, among others.
I'm not sure exactly what the liability argument the family's injury lawyers are making. But, apparently, maintenance records indicated the helicopter was inspected 10 days before the helicopter accident, the same day a low rumble and vibration from the rear of the helicopter had been detected. The lawsuit also claims that that Decatur County (Indiana) REMC failed to properly mark the overhead power lines for air traffic. Plaintiff's injury lawyer speculates that contact with the power lines could have caused the rotor to break.
