The Crash Of An Air Canada Of A320 In Halifax Nova Scotia On March 29 Leads To A $12 Million Class-Action Lawsuit.
It’s been reported that MacGillivray Injury and Insurance Law has filed a class action lawsuit to the sum of $12 million. In the suit, they are claiming damages for physical and psychological injuries including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and insomnia. It is also reported that they are filing lawsuits for about 20 individual people.

The preliminary report from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada indicates On 29 March 2015, at approximately 1240 a.m., Air Canada flight ACA 624, an Airbus A320 , on a scheduled flight from Toronto's Lester B. Pearson International Airport, Ontario, to Halifax, Nova Scotia, collided with terrain approximately 1100 feet from the threshold of Runway 05, eventually coming to rest about 1100 feet down the runway. There were 133 passengers and 5 crew members on board; all of whom exited the aircraft. Twenty-five people were taken to hospital for treatment of injuries.
The initial impact was significant and caused substantial damage to the aircraft. The main landing gear separated and the underside of the aircraft was heavily damaged (fuselage and wings). During this impact, the aircraft collided with a localizer antenna array, which is part of the instrument landing system, and became airborne again, travelling forward on Runway 05.
The statement of claim from MacGillivray Injury and Insurance Law names Air Canada, Nav Canada, the Halifax International Airport Authority and an unnamed captain and first officer as defendants.
It also addresses the issue that the passengers were left standing near the wreckage for about 50 minutes before being picked up and taken to shelter. While the lawsuit claims negligence, and lack of due diligence in numerous issues, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada continues its investigation and has not issued a final report.
