Lawsuit against Evergreen Helicopters over deadly Peruvian crash will play out in Oregon

A lawsuit brought against Evergreen Helicopters Inc. by survivors of eight Peruvians killed in a 2008 helicopter crash will play out in Oregon courts rather than in Peru, where the crash occurred. Last week's decision by the Oregon Court of Appeals is a loss for Evergreen - now a subsidiary of Portland-based Erickson Inc. - after winning an earlier lower-court victory when Multnomah Circuit Court granted its motions to dismiss the suit saying Peru was the more convenient forum to litigate the case.
