Venessa Bryant has filed a law suit against Island Express Helicopters

Venessa Bryant is suing Island Express Helicopters for the January crash that killed her husband  Kobe Bryant and their daughter Gigi.

The lawsuit alleges Island Express was only allowed to fly under visual flight rules, and the conditions the day of the crash were not conducive for such flying. It has been reported before that the fog was extremely low and the pilot was in blinding conditions before the mishap.

“This was a tragic accident. We will have no comment on the pending litigation,” the company said in a statement Monday.

The helicopter, which crashed into hilly terrain in foggy conditions, was transporting its passengers to the Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks for a youth basketball game.

Island Express, which has suspended operations, could face massive financial damages should Venessa Bryant’s lawsuit prevail. The company is similarly exposed to lawsuits brought by the families of the other victims.
