MANCHESTER, England — The family of former Leicester soccer club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha has filed the largest fatal accident claim in English history after the Thai billionaire died in a helicopter crash in 2018, representatives said. The High Court claim brought against helicopter manufacturer Leonardo S.p.A. was valued at 2.15 billion pounds ($2.6 billion). Vichai and four others died in the crash just outside the Premier League team's King Power Stadium in October 2018. Leonardo expressed its "deepest sympathy for those who lost their lives in the accident." The company said it "intends to defend this claim."
