Discovery is set to begin in nearly 50 lawsuits over last summer’s Asiana Airlines Inc. crash after a judicial panel coordinated them for pretrial purposes before a federal judge in San Francisco.
The July 6 crash of Flight 214 while landing at San Francisco International Airport killed three people and injured about 180. The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation on Friday ordered the cases, filed against both Asiana and The Boeing Co., which manufactured the 777 aircraft, coordinated before U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers.
