Delta Air Lines Faces Multiple Lawsuits After Toronto Crash Landing

Delta Air Lines is facing multiple lawsuits from passengers aboard Flight 4819, which crashed at Toronto Pearson International Airport on February 17. Passengers Hannah Krebs and Marthinus Lourens have filed separate suits alleging negligence on the part of the flight crew, claiming they suffered significant physical and emotional injuries during the incident. Both lawsuits reference the Montreal Convention, which holds airlines liable for passenger injuries during international flights, potentially allowing for compensation up to $200,000 or more if negligence is proven. Delta has offered $30,000 to each passenger as a goodwill gesture, maintaining that this offer does not limit their rights to seek further compensation. The airline has also defended its pilots' credentials amid circulating rumors regarding their training. Legal experts anticipate additional lawsuits as passengers assess their situations following the crash.
