Two Counts Dismissed in $5 Million Insurance Claim Over Helicopter Crash | New Jersey Law Journal (2024)

A federal judge in New Jersey dismissed two counts in a complaint brought by the widow of country music star Troy Lee Gentry of the musical duo Montgomery Gentry against several insurers and the concert venue where he passed away when a sightseeing helicopter crashed.

On Sept. 8, 2017, Gentry took a ride in a helicopter in Medford that crashed almost immediately after lifting off the ground. Angela K. Gentry, Troy’s widow, alleged that Flying W, a public airport and resort, entered into a contract with her husband’s band that said the resort would maintain a general liability insurance policy of $5 million, according to the opinion.
