$1.2 Million for Families of Two Students Killed in Grand Canyon Plane Crash
Corboy & Demetrio Co-founder Thomas Demetrio obtained a $1.2 million jury verdict in Las Vegas federal court for the parents of two Japanese students, who were sightseeing above the Grand Canyon when the plane they were riding in crashed. Sawako Minato and Hiroko Miyazawa were college students touring the United States at the time of their deaths, and key testimony at trial came from an expert who explained to the jury the significance of the parent-child relationship in Japanese culture.
