Passenger Files Negligence Lawsuit Against American Airlines After Disturbing Experience
Passenger Sues American Airlines for Alleged Negligence
In a significant legal case unfolding in Chicago, a passenger has lodged a lawsuit against American Airlines, claiming negligence that resulted in a harrowing flight experience. The suit was filed by Theresa DeMaria, who experienced severe distress during a roundtrip flight from Chicago to Phoenix in January of the previous year.
Background of the Incident
DeMaria was aboard a Boeing aircraft that made an emergency landing in Tulsa, Oklahoma, due to what the airline described as a dangerous situation in the air. After landing, American Airlines staff assured her that the plane was 'fixed' approximately four hours later, even though mechanics required an additional three hours for repairs and checks.
Despite these lingering concerns, the airline reboarded DeMaria and other passengers shortly after. To her dismay, DeMaria overheard a flight attendant express uncertainty about the repairs, expressing doubts about the plane’s safety.
