Lawsuit Alleges Negligence and Recklessness in Delta Crash<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vanessa Miles, a Delta Air Lines (DL) flight attendant, filed a personal injury lawsuit in a U.S. court, seeking $75 million in damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of the crash, she was \u201cdeadheading\u201d \u2014 flying as a passenger on a regional Delta flight at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)<\/a>, en route to begin duty elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuit claims she suffered severe injuries, including a fractured shoulder, traumatic brain injury, post-concussion syndrome, and psychological trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miles alleges that the airline knowingly assigned an underqualified pilot to the flight, which resulted in a hard landing and runway excursion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the claim, the aircraft experienced a \u201cviolent and catastrophic drop\u201d before slamming into the runway and flipping upside down. The emergency evacuation was further complicated by a failure of the aircraft\u2019s slides, forcing Miles to leap over six feet to the tarmac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
