Earlier this year, a Delta Connection Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft crashed in snowy conditions while landing in Toronto. The incident, which occurred in February, resulted in the plane overturning after touchdown. While there were no fatalities among the 80 people on board Flight 4819, at least 21 occupants sustained injuries.
Vanessa Miles, a 67-year-old flight attendant for Endeavor Air who was deadheading to her next assignment on the flight, is now suing Delta Air Lines for $75 million in damages. According to reports from The Independent and CBC News, Miles alleges that Delta endangered passengers and crew by assigning an inexperienced pilot to the flight and failing to provide adequate training.
Miles reportedly suffered fractures and trauma-based injuries during the crash. She claims she remains unable to work due to her injuries. In her lawsuit, Miles also accuses Delta and Endeavor of neglecting proper maintenance of the aircraft's landing gear and not establishing sufficient emergency response procedures.
