Aviation Cases

Janan Honeysuckle v. Michael McCarthy, Workers’ Compensation Commission of Arkansas, AWCC No. F214059

While returning from a business trip the engine of the airplane loses power and the pilot crashes his plane, injuring himself and killing his passenger.

The plane was owned by Michael McCarthy, who was flying on a business trip when his plane crashed killing his co-worker.  The plaintiffs allege that while the company is under the provisions of workers compensation, the defendant is liable for the wrongful death of Carlos Honeysuckle.

The defendant alleges that he was working within the scope of his employment and therefore is covered and immune under workers compensation.

Bruce McMath is the lead counsel on this case.  This case is still open.
