Family of Labrador crash victim sues Quebec airline for negligence

Holly McKenzie-Sutter, The Canadian PressLast Updated Saturday, November 16, 2019 5:48PM EST

A weeks-long search led by the RCMP failed to recover both the wreckage of the plane and the bodies of three of the men, preventing the Transportation Safety Board of Canada from conducting a full investigation. An untested statement of claim filed at the Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court on Friday says says a "probable inference" about what caused the crash is alleged substandard skill by the pilot."There may be other possible explanations for the crash, but the most likely explanation is negligence in the operation and maintenance of the DHC- 2 Beaver," the statement alleges.

The Transportation Safety Board's report on the incident said pilot Gilles Morin, whose body was never recovered, was qualified for the flight under existing regulations and had over 16,000 hours of experience on DHC-2 aircraft.Air Saguenay did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Saturday. Earlier this year, airline president Jean Tremblay spoke highly of Morin's professionalism as a pilot and said the aircraft had been inspected this spring.

A short biography of Randell on the website for Three Rivers Lodge, altered this summer after the accident, indicated 2019 was his fourteenth season working as a guide at the lodge. Four lodge guests from the United States were on board the plane, including a father and his two sons.
