Flight 370 family hires U.S. law firm
Stage is set for a multimillion dollar lawsuit over Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. CNN's Laurie Segall reports

Join me now Legacy and Money coorespondent L, L based on passed crisis which would win, passengers families take action, it is bascially and automatically they win these suits?
It is not necessary automatic, I mean this kind of cases I have heard up, but there is a lot skepticisms in this particular case because of juridication, but you know I actually spoke to an attorney who represented several victims of plane crashes and their families, and he gave me an idea how much compensation they were able to get, let me bring it down for you.
In Egypt Air 990 crash and the attorney was able to get 3.6 million dollars for the families of the plane crash victims and its extended family. So quite a bit. and American Airline flight 587 the attorney represented 14 victims and was able to get 32 million dollars total, and it was air flight 111 he represented 4 families and was able to get five million.
I should say this Jim that not all of these numbers are divided evenly between the families , they are based on a whole number of factors, where was the lawsuit filed, where was these person from, what was their income, so all these factors are going to play out, and could be potentially to play out in this particular case.
And this was what even cost to place it overseas, you got an American company you got Asisan airline, so it is complicated, tell me about the first family, to pursuit legal action, the family of S, where they are acting now? what we know about them?
You know I think if we take a step back, you know there is grief at the heart of this, the father that's behind this, it is a grief of a father who is losing his son, and this is probably you know I spoke to, his son is named F, I spoke to many of his friends, give me a little bit insight and who he is, you know , they say he just graduated from a very prestigious techincal university in Indonesia, he was an electrical engineer major , and he just got a job as field engineer at a US oil company in China, and he actually gone to Kuala Lumpur for training for this,and this is what you know what began this fate, so they also describe him as very social and loving music in Kuala Lumpur you know, and so I think when you began to look at this , you look the images of victims' families, you can really wrap your heard around, the fact that his father is destroyed and he wants answers, he is not necessary getting them, so he is desperately to go a court to get them, and this particular case, they are asking for a lot of information from these courts, Jim.
Yes, not just money that is asking for a permission, you know you looked at the pictures, you heard their stories, they are really very personalized, these suits that is certainly not just numbers, that is 239 people, thank you very much for joinning us Legacy.
