A married couple from Hawaii filed a federal lawsuit alleging that during dinner service, a flight attendant rolled a heavy serving cart next to the man’s seat in the emergency exit row, reports KHON.com.
The suit claims she walked away, and that the cart fell on him, injuring his left knee and leg. The lawsuit says he’s had to have three surgeries since the incident.
As a result, the lawsuit claims, the man “has suffered and continues to suffer serious physical and psychological injuries, including but not limited to extreme pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional and mental distress relating to his injuries, loss of enjoyment of life, and special damages, including but not limited to medical care expenses, travel expenses, substitute services, all in amounts to be determined and proven at the time of trial.”
The lawsuit seeks a total of $75,000.
United Airlines issued a statement to KHON, saying it can’t comment on the situation.
“The safety of our customers is paramount to our business, however, we cannot comment on pending litigation,” a spokeswoman said.
