Carson v. McDonnell Douglas Helicopter (Negligence)
Lonnie Carson, a former county sheriff’s office pilot who was injured in a helicopter crash in 1999, filed a negligence lawsuit against McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Co. and other companies involved in the construction and/or maintenance of the helicopter.

The case was settled in November 2003 for an undisclosed amount.
