I would think most instructors would try to cover themselves by saying before hand that if the plane were to crash, i'm not responsible.
As has been said already, if the instructor is in control of the plane and he screws up, he should replace the plane. If a person is not willing to do this, he shouldn't be instructing.
I think it's sad that 3 planes would crash in a day and with the planes being proven trainer type planes. These guys shouldn't be training anybody.
Nope, they shouldn't be.
