2004 China Eastern Airlines Bombardier CRJ200 Crash
Lieff Cabraser represents families of over 30 passengers who died in the November 21, 2004, crash of China Yunnan Airlines Flight 5210. The plane, a Bombardier CRJ-200 built in Canada with engines from a General Electric plant in Massachusetts, was headed for Shanghai with 47 passengers and six crew members when it crashed into a lake, seconds after taking off from Baotou, Inner Mongolia.
Plaintiffs charge that the crash was the result of a combination of pilot error and defects in the aircraft and its engines.
