Family of teen killed in plane crash files $2.5 million claim
The family of 17 year old Jamie Harder of Cedar Rapids files a $2.5 million claim against the estate of pilot Robert Andrews, 49, in Linn District Court. They seek $1 million for Jamie and $1 million for her parents plus $500,000 for her sister for wrongful death and loss of services. The accident also killed Andrews and his wife Roberta, 48, while their son Andy, 18, died later from burns. Investigators have ruled out fuel quality and propeller issues as causes. The Harder attorney said claims must be filed within four months and filed in the estate to avoid adversarial litigation.
