A workers’ compensation lawsuit has been filed because of the fatal plane crash near the Kirksville airport last year. Eleven passengers were killed. Two survived. Everset National Insurance Company, the workers’ comp insurance carrier for A.T. Still University of Kirksville, accuses Corporate Airlines of negligence and says it has to reimburse Everest for the workers’ comp and other payments it has made to two survivors and two passengers who died. The four were employees of the university. Two other lawsuits have been filed so far. The crash was the only fatal commercial airline crash in the country last year.
