Aviation lawyer Robert Clifford, the Founder of Clifford Law Offices in Chicago, has suggested that the tragic helicopter crash in California, which claimed the lives of Access Holdings CEO Herbert Wigwe and other prominent Nigerians, could potentially have been avoided.
The crash involved an Airbus Helicopter EC130B4 carrying six occupants, and Clifford questions the decision to take off in challenging weather conditions.
The US National Transportation Safety Board is conducting an investigation, with the preliminary report expected in four weeks.
Clifford, who previously served as Lead Counsel in the Boeing 737 MAX8 crash in Ethiopia, hopes the investigation will reveal if the crash was avoidable.
