Legal Battle

EPL side Leicester City's owners say they are "declining" to pay compensation to the family of a woman who died in a helicopter crash outside the stadium in Oct. '18. Nusara Suknamai was on board along with club Owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. Nusara's family is suing the estate of Srivaddhanaprabha for $9.8M in damages. Nusara was an employee of Bangkok-based King Power, which owns the club. In a statement, the firm said, "King Power had provided Nusara's family with all legal support and assistances, including claim against insurance after the accident. However, the family accepted only statutory and welfare payments but denied other assistances offered." It added that it had offered "financial support" on a "humanitarian basis" to the family but they declined (BBC, 9/24).
