Despite Past Failures, This Skydiving Company Continues To Kill

Posted By The Law Offices of Eugene G. Bruno, P.C. Posted in: Wrongful Death.

A 62-year-old woman was killed in a skydiving accident in California recently after her parachute failed to open.

Nina Mason had experience. In fact, she had just completed three jumps, adding to her over 2,500 career jumps. On her last jump, things did not work as planned. She attempted to open her main parachute, which failed. By the time she tried to open her backup parachute, it was too late. In this instance, Mason was using her own equipment, but we want to point out that this skydiving company has had problems in the past.

Serious Problems

The Skydive Lod the Parachute Center is the 16th death this company has experienced since the late 1990s. As recently as last December, the US Parachute association found several major violations at the company. In fact, the FBI raided the business earlier this year.

We know that Nina Mason’s death happened in an incident that most people do not experience, but her situation is not unique when it comes to negligence and wrongful death.

What Does Wrongful Death Look Like?

Wrongful death claims can be filed for a multitude of reasons. We want to take a look at a few examples.

• Workplace Incidents – Workplace accidents are major contributors to wrongful death and often revolve around employers not providing proper equipment or training to employees.
• Faulty Products – If your loved one was killed when they used or consumed a faulty product, the manufacturer could be held liable. These cases usually revolve around a product that was poorly designed, had a manufacturing error, or was improperly labeled (including pharmaceuticals).
• Medical Mistakes – Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States and contribute to major pain and suffering for families who have lost loved ones.
• Impaired Drivers – If someone is impaired by drugs or alcohol and they crash into and kill your loved one, they could be sued for wrongful death.
• Distracted Drivers – If a person is distracted by their phones or other devices while driving, they can be just as dangerous as impaired drivers.
