Eugenia Lyashenko is suing United Airlines after suffering serious injuries when a heavy suitcase fell from the overhead bin during a flight from Boston to London. The lawsuit claims that flight attendants failed to provide assistance to passengers struggling with heavy luggage, contributing to the incident. Since the event in June 2023, Lyashenko has experienced significant physical pain and mental distress, including stress and depression. Her legal team seeks compensatory damages under the Montreal Convention, which holds airlines liable for onboard injuries unless passenger negligence can be proven.
"United should not have allowed other passengers to struggle with stowing heavy roller suitcases in the overhead bins without intervening to ensure that it was done properly and safely."
"As a result of the incident, she has since been unable to sit or stand for extended periods, and suffered great pain, agony and mental anguish, stress, depression."
