Lawsuit Filed Against Google Co-founder Sergey Brin Over Fatal Plane Crash

Google co-founder Sergey Brin is being sued for wrongful death by the widow of one of the pilots who died in a plane crash off the coast of California in May 2023. The lawsuit alleges that a poorly installed modification and intentional obstruction of recovery efforts led to the crash, which occurred while the pilots were ferrying Brin’s seaplane. The complaint also names Google and Brin’s family investment firm as co-owners of the plane and seeks damages for wrongful death and survival negligence.
