Default RE: AMA Claim and recovery stories


ORIGINAL: ravill

I'v heard of the only claims to the AMA was for prop plane related problems. I know its only hearsay, but we'll see what it produces.

That is absolutely false. The AMA just paid off a claim on the kid that got killed on his motorcycle in NM. It may have been the largest settlement ever paid by the AMA. Over 50% of the dollar amounts of all AMA claims involve non flying accidents, that is, trip and fall accidents, Almost all of those are generated by clubs.

Details on all the claims, whether paid by homeowners or AMA, are going to be extremely difficult to come by. Part of the settlements in most of those cases involve nondisclosure agreements. Don’t expect too many people to step up and give details in violation of that type of agreement.
