Vanessa Bryant claims helicopter operator and pilot were negligent.

Kobe Bryant’s widow, Vanessa, filed a wrongful death suit in Los Angeles County Circuit on Monday against Island Express Helicopters, its holding company, and the estate of pilot Ara Zobayan. Vanessa Bryant is being represented by the Los Angeles mega-law firm of Munger, Tolles & Olson and joined by the Kansas City aviation law firm of Robb & Robb, which specializes in helicopter accidents. Robb & Robb has secured large settlements from a variety of helicopter crashes including $100 million for the survivor of the crash of an Air Methods Airbus AS350 B3e near Frisco, Colorado in 2015. Neither firm returned AIN’s request for comment.
