Investigation, yes, court case not sure.
I have done two accident investigations of military aircraft where all on board, in each case, died.
One was a clear case, after a month of investigation, of pilot error.
The second was a mechanical failure with wide ranging legal implications for the prime and sub contractors.
It gets ugly early. Lawyers parachute in. And, btw, I don't blame them.
Sully did what I find, as a former pilot, fascinating: He and his crew took a very hard problems and survived with all onboard seeing the next sunrise.
I have had two significant emergencies in my flying career and I have nothing but respect for the outcome of Sully's flight...movies are movies, no one died in the making of or the real thing.
That is astounding.
