A couple has sued Delta Air Lines and Japan Airlines over a minor aircraft collision that occurred in February at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). The lawsuit was filed by Herrmann Law Group, a Tacoma, Washington-based law firm.
“Non-fatal injuries in aviation result from major safety failures at multiple levels. Airlines will often try to downplay these types of incidents, describing the injuries as 'minor. ' To people suffering life-long consequences, these injuries are not 'minor,'” said Herrmann Law Group. “Our firm has a long history of holding those responsible accountable and fighting to ensure flyers get the justice they deserve. ”
The lawsuit did not specify the plaintiffs’ injuries. However, Lara Herrmann, an attorney at Herrmann Law Group, noted that considering the weight of the Japan Airlines aircraft—a Boeing 787-9—which struck the Delta Air Lines Boeing 737-800 sideways, the collision could have resulted in “serious spinal sprains and strains,” according to KIRO 7.
