Besides killing two experienced skydivers who couldn't get out of the plane after it started spinning out of control, the crash critically injured the pilot, Jason Rog. Four other skydivers jumped to safety before the crash, which was in Greene County after the plane took off from the Mt. Vernon airport in Lawrence County.

The lawsuit seeks damages for medical expenses and other losses suffered by Smith and her husband, Michael. Besides the company, the lawsuit also is against Rog and Bryan Wolford, the company's owner.
