Aviation disaster litigation is a highly technical and specialized practice and I hope these victims were not taken advantage of. There are established matrix for calculating damages , such as age,life expectancy, profession, number of dependents etc of the victim. The compensation does not come from the pocket of the airline but from their insurance carrier and the policy limits of such insurance is by law and regulation very large to cover major disasters and losses. After watching Quashie Idun's sophomoric performance in court and lying his way through the proceedings, the victims should be very careful in dealing with him as his integrity is questionable.

During the last year or so its has become clear to almost every child the ethnocentric racist anti Akan vicious propaganda directed mainly against the innocent Ashanti and Akyems .Even here on this forum we witness the daily insults , defamation and systematic character assination of any Akan leader who dares raise his voice to cry foul. The Akans lead by the Fantis are fighting back just as they in the early 90's with prof eduboahen and this happened last year after the murder of Mills. these ewe and northerners think if they bribe a few paramount chiefs and buy off Akuffo Addo as they have done they can go back to the business of looting the coffers but not so . They are overwhelmed by the resistance which is being lead by the family heads and the clans . since most the people here writing under false Akan names dont see the difference continue to harass the ashantis and akyems who by the way rarely ever contribute anything to this forum . this prof awonoor has mislead his people into a war they will surely loose , battle after battle they are pounded and bashed , the sophistication of their devious divide and rule strategy has been exposed and backfired ,today the Akans are more united than ever so much so the the Ashantis and akyems no more participate but are standing on the sidelines watching as they are surprised at the fury and determination of the rest of the Akans to rid themselves of this yoke of oppression. Akans will never peacefully accept to be second class citizens like the Indians in Latin America and fight the hegemony and tribalism with these same tools rather than just brushing it off and pretending it doesn't exist . the battle-lines have been drawn in the minds of every Ghanian and as things escalate the business of governance is slowly grinding to a halt soon from verbal warfare we move to open rejection of the govt of the day which will most likely end up in true war . we can not build and develop a sustainable economy if the ayigbe and pepeni can only be focused on the destruction of the Akans and looting the wealth of the nation , sadly when we say this all they say is that their hate is justified and their time has come to chop some . let it be known Akans make up almost 70% of the population, have 90% of the wealth and natural resources and that this govt that practically has less than 10% Akan participation is illegitimate and even the foreign banks and investors have noticed this and are withdrawing , the rest like the Chinese , Indians , Muslim Lebanese and Turkish will soon risk never being paid . billions have been borrowed but nobody has seen any benefits but it has ended up in the bottomless pits of the greed of the ndc pepeni and ayigbe . we propose secession as a peaceful exit to this mess , if persuasion fails force will be applied , long live the republic of Akan

If the victims try to put up a big fight, they would get more money but of course, you know Ghana. The process would last for 10 years. It probably makes sense to settle and move on. It is painful but look at the election petition in front of the Supreme Court. It took way too long.

Therein lies the problem my brother. We are always too ready to concede and attribute our unwillingness to fight for what is right and deservingly ours to the culture and institutions which are admittedly corrupt and ineffectual.If NPP believes the court's ruling was tainted and erroneous, they should exercise their right to appeal so that the court can sit en banc to hear the basis of appeal. Not to fight and expose the errors is cowardly and an injustice to the party and cause of democracy. Besides it entrenches the notion that one can steal their way to power. With regard to the aviation disaster, any lawyer worth his salt can make a very credible case for large recoveries as liability is not in question and levy on the assets of the airline worldwide wherever their assets can be found.But it will take a skillful lawyer with the will to fight for what is right to do so.

Kofi: Your points are correct but the issue when it comes to the Airplane crash is that the client's are not likely to exercise the patience to deal with such an inefficient system. In Ghana, the client will be hungry for quick money so a quick settlement becomes the order of the day. If the clients are wealthy, they would simply fight it out for years.

The lawyer (Lawyer Akpalu) who represented them is the best of the best and lives in the USA. I am sure he charged a minimal fee for his services.
