The filings are in answer to Vanessa Bryant's lawsuit accusing Zobayan of being negligent.
The brother of the pilot flying the helicopter that crashed and killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven others argued in a court filing Monday that Bryant knew the risks of flying and the pilot shouldn’t be held responsible.
Pilot’s brother claims Bryant knew risksBerge Zobayan, whose brother was the longtime pilot for the former Los Angeles Lakers superstar, filed the answer in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday.
Lawsuit accuses Zobayan of negligent conductThe lawsuit filed by Vanessa Bryant claims the pilot failed to monitor and assess the weather that morning, a particularly foggy one in Los Angeles that grounded the police department’s fleet, and failed to abort the flight once in progress. It also alleges the helicopter was unsafe and notes a previous discipline given to Zobayan in 2015 for violating visual flight rules.
Island Express, which suspended operations after the crash, has not answered to the lawsuit. A case management conference is scheduled for June 22, per the LA Times. Vanessa Bryant also filed a lawsuit last week against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department after members took photos of the crash site with their personal phones and reportedly shared them.
