Confidential Recovery for Families of 46 Workers Killed in Chinook Helicopter Crash off the Coast of Scotland When a Chinook helicopter went down off the coast of Scotland, all 46 oil riggers on board perished. Because of severely low limits for wrongful death damages under Scottish law, the families retained Raynes McCarty to advise them about their potential claims under U.S. law. Detailed investigation of the crash revealed a defect in the helicopter, which had been manufactured by Delaware Valley based Boeing-Vertol. Arthur Raynes and Harold Goodman filed suit in Philadelphia. When we won the years-long battles over which country's law would apply and where the cases would be heard, the case settled in the tens of millions of dollars.
