The sad thing is, they'll probably get something because it will be cheaper for United to give them a few thousand to go away than to defend it.
I'm not sure what's worse, the people who come up with these asinine lawsuits or the back of the yellow pages lawyers who represent them.

FWIW - taken the report as true, UA is obligated to compensate regardless of faults.
So the key is if the hard landing caused both women permanently disabled or not.

I really wish United would offer these dolts a choice between two settlement offers: 1) go away, or 2) a lifetime ban from us and this list of other airlines that are also tired of people like you.

Just a quick note and I apologize for saying this, but it looks like the people perpetuating the lawsuit are Canadian. If you check out the Air Canada forum lawsuit like this seem fairly common up north. - and by fairly common happen several times per year.

Even my hardest landing doesn't compare.
