Vanessa Tadros, a 36-year-old from Sydney, was killed along with three other people in one of Australia's worst air disasters in January 2023.
A teenage boy whose mother was killed in the Sea World helicopter collision has joined some other survivors in preparing personal injury lawsuits against the theme park’s operator Village Roadshow.
Nicholas Tadros and his father Simon Tadros today joined with five other people affected by the tragedy to make applications to Brisbane District Court.
Outside court, Ciaran Ehrich, a lawyer representing the crash survivors, said his clients had to make claims within three years of the crash under Queensland‘s Personal Injuries Proceedings Act.

In 2019, Village Roadshow Theme Parks, the owner of Sea World, transferred ownership of its joy flights service to Sea World Helicopters Pty Ltd.

Recently, the Tadros family, along with several other individuals, have initiated personal injury lawsuits against Sea World Helicopters Pty Ltd, filing their claims in the Queensland Supreme Court.

The inquest revealed that despite the sale, Village Roadshow maintained a degree of involvement with the helicopter operations. This involvement included aspects like ticket sales, conducting audits, and overseeing staff drug and alcohol testing.

In addition to Sea World Helicopters, the claimants have also named the Gold Coast City Council in their District Court applications. The council had previously given the green light for the Sea World helipad.

Furthermore, Jetpoint, the company responsible for certifying the helicopters’ airworthiness, and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority are also listed as defendants in the seven legal applications.
