FlyerSteve Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hiller Aircraft just had a multi-million dollar judgement filed against them in Fresno Superior Court, case 18CECG04044. https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article251196179.html I was wondering if anyone knew if this meant the death of the company for sure? It kinda seems that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerSteve Posted May 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 You can go to the Fresno County Superior Court case look-up page and put in the case number and it shows the judgement towards the very long list of documents. There is also a local newspaper web site article at: https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article251196179.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRJ Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 The genuine answer is complex because of unknowns. Hiller was hit with 70% responsibility, the city 25%, and the driver 5%. Hiller will probably appeal in an attempt to lay more blame on the city and even more on the co-driver. Add insurance into that and the answer is...”who knows?” Still, I hope they make it. I would love to see one of their new ships running an aviation diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPPL Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Will they not have insurance that covers this type of liability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam32 Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 The Hiller in 2018 is not the same Hiller as of today...I wonder if past lawsuits were carried over to the new owners/investors of Hiller? If not, then good luck getting any money from the past owners... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
