First
lawsuit being filed against Southwest airlines after rough
landing
The
first lawsuit against Southwest Airlines is being filed by Jacqueline Young of
South Carolina in relation to the broken gear that caused Flight 345 to have a
rough landing.
A South
Carolina woman who was injured evacuating the Southwest Airlines jet that landed
on its nose at LaGuardia Airport last month is filing a lawsuit Friday alleging
pilot error.
Jacqueline
Young's complaint is believed to be the first suit against the airline in
connection with the July 22 accident, said lawyer Sanford
Rubenstein.
Young,
48, suffered a concussion and other injuries when she slid down the evacuation
chute of Flight 345 and "nobody helped catch me."
The
National Transportation Safety Board is investigating why the nose gear
collapsed when the plane touched down. The suit will be filed in Queens Supreme
Court.
