The families of two victims killed in the air ambulance crash that devastated a Philadelphia neighborhood earlier this year are now taking legal action.

On Monday, relatives of Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo and Lizeth Murillo Osuna filed a wrongful death lawsuit, claiming the companies responsible for the plane's operation and safety failed to prevent the deadly disaster.

Arredondo, a pediatrician, and Osuna, the mother of a young girl returning home to Mexico after medical treatment, were among six people on board the Learjet 55 when it crashed on Jan. 31.

According to AP News, two people on the ground were also killed, and more than 20 others were injured as the jet smashed into the densely populated Rhawnhurst neighborhood just one minute after takeoff from Northeast Philadelphia Airport.

According to the lawsuit, the plane was headed to Tijuana, Mexico, when it suddenly went down near Roosevelt Mall, erupting into flames.

The complaint describes the scene as a "massive explosion that engulfed multiple vehicles and houses and sent fiery debris raining down on terrified and helpless bystanders."

Lawsuit Targets Med Jets and Aircraft Makers

The National Transportation Safety Board later revealed that the aircraft's voice recorder was not working and that the pilots made no distress calls to air traffic control before the jet fell from the sky. Investigators are still working to determine exactly what caused the catastrophic failure.

The lawsuit names Med Jets, S.A. de C.V. — operating as Jet Rescue — along with other unidentified companies involved in designing, manufacturing, maintaining, or inspecting the aircraft.

The families argue these parties acted negligently and that their failures directly led to the deaths of Arredondo and Osuna, IJR reported.

So far, Jet Rescue has not publicly responded to requests for comment. Messages were also sent to attorneys connected to the company through related lawsuits, but no replies have been reported.

Both Arredondo and Osuna were Mexican citizens. Arredondo lived in Atizapán de Zaragoza, while Osuna was from Ensenada.

Their families say they want answers — and accountability — after losing loved ones in a tragedy they believe could have been prevented.
