Years of Wasted Effort, Resources, and Worry Signal Ongoing Defects In US Tort Law When the news first came out, in 2015, that Van's Aircraft was sued for a considerable amount of money and that the law firm pressing the action was being VERY public about it, many feared the worst. The nation's legal system, for better or worse, is rife with abuse, hype, and excess -- and is littered with victims of a system that seem to pay more attention to the grandiose emotional performances and hyperbole performed by lawyers looking for a payday, than in getting to the actual truth of a tragic situation. More than one company, for questionable reasons, has failed as result of excessive legal costs and the aggressive debilitating actions of a legal system that seems, in many cases, to often be out of control. We're happy to say, though, that Van's Aircraft will survive... and more than that, that the lawsuit against the company has been dismissed, according to Van's itself.
