There is something about airplane crashes that makes survivors rich. Apparently lives lost in an airplane are worth more than lives lost in an auto accident for some reason.
The thing is all of this litigation is built into the cost of everything that gets certified to go into an airplane. Items cost about 10x of what you think they should cost.
Things as simple as an altimeter end up costing over a thousand dollars.
