The wrongful death lawsuit filed by Vanessa Bryant in Los Angeles Superior Court said the pilot was careless and negligent by flying in cloudy conditions Jan. 26 and should have aborted the flight.The lawsuit names Island Express Helicopters Inc. and also targets Zobayan's legal representative, listed only as "Doe 1" until a name can be determined.
Vanessa Bryant's lawsuit asserts that Zobayan was negligent in eight different ways, including failing to properly assess the weather, flying into conditions he wasn't cleared for and failing to control the helicopter. The lawsuit was filed as a public memorial service for Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and all the victims, including Zobayan, was being held at the arena where Bryant played most of his career.The company issued a statement Jan. 30 on its website saying the shock of the crash had prompted it to suspend service until it was appropriate for staff and customers.

I agree
It’s sad. All the families involved r suffering. There no need to sue! Silly on her part, even the pilots family is suffering. Unfortunately no one will know exactly what was said if they shud fly or not. Let it go. There no need for this!!
Of course she is. Like she hasn’t got enough money and they don’t have enough pain.
No surprise...
That’s awful. I know it’s so hard but his family is grieving too
The man isn’t even cold yet and the vampire wife is looking for Benjamins.
Its no wonder he always took off without her, now we see why. What a shame in all aspects.
Not rich enough already, sue and destroy someone else
Showing her true colors: golddigger
Hope the woman he raped gets a share of the profits.
The pilot was careless and negligent ?! Well he lost his life as well flying your husband to his destination. This is not right.
Maybe she is suing so that the helicopter company's take greater precautions and make less risky decisions when flying in poor conditions, she definitely isn't doing it for the money
Not a great look
I think this is cruel and inappropriate on Vanessa's part. The Pilot is dead, his family's suffering is not less than hers. Now, she is causing more suffering. The Pilot may very well have consulted with Kobe as how to proceed. The Pilot didn't want to die either.
It won't bring him back. Is she hard-up for money?
Took her long enough. Hasn’t got enough money I guess.
Are the bodies even cold yet? That was quick.
Why Why put more grief on his family?
of course she does
You are beyond rich.
And he's dead...geez!
What the ?
Might not like what comes out. I am betting the pilot did not want to fly and Kobe said fly or you are fired
