Families mull lawsuits over missing plane

Advice on legal action being sought from experts in China and overseas

Families of the Chinese passengers on the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner are seeking advice from domestic and overseas legal experts to prepare lawsuits.

A committee representing the families is in touch with the Ribbeck Law firm in Chicago about filing a group lawsuit against the airline, according to a member of the committee who works in France but has returned to China because his parents were on the plane.
