A 2007 plane crash that occurred in Georgia left an Ohio couple alive but with serious injuries, including third degree burns and respiratory damage. They filed suit against a company named Winner Aviation, who was found by a Philadelphia jury to have failed to repair a faulty rear engine, causing the crash. The engine had previously been found to be defective and “needed a complete overhaul” – but never received one before the 2007 takeoff. Four years later, the surviving couple has been awarded $11.35 million after a trial held in Pennsylvania.
