Several veteran aviation attorneys are outraged that one Chicago law firm has gone ahead with a filing in response to the missing Malaysia Airlines plane even though the whereabouts of the Boeing 777 remains a mystery.
For instance, Chicago attorney Robert Clifford, who has frequently sued airlines after crashes, said the filing was “grossly premature and without foundation.”
“It's a disservice to the families who are in agony and angst,” he added.
