The tragic crash of Air India Flight AI-171 has left 241 dead, including 53 British citizens. British law firm Keystone Law has launched an independent probe into the disaster. This is separate from the official investigation by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) and the UK’s AAIB of the Air India Crash.

Keystone’s focus is on legal accountability and justice for victims’ families. The firm is exploring civil claims under UK law against Air India and Boeing. Leading the case are aviation experts James Healy-Pratt and Owen Hannah. Keystone has urged families not to cremate or bury the bodies yet. This is because UK law requires the body for a formal inquest. Once cremated, legal investigations into the cause of death become impossible.
The crash is likely to spark complex insurance claims. Families may pursue compensation under UK law. Legal experts expect a long battle involving courts in multiple countries.
