US Airlines is set to pay $30 million in damages to a young man who suffered paralysis while being taken off a plane because he did not receive adequate care. The action was taken following an incident in 2019. The family alleged that the employee pushed the wheelchair while being taken off the plane and subsequently suffered brain damage.
Nathaniel Foster Jr., a twenty-six-year-old man, had the misfortune. The family also alleges that the young man became ill due to the negligent intervention of the staff. The incident happened while he was on his way to attend a funeral with his family. The young man panicked and said he could not breathe. Doctors also gave a report that there was a heart attack. According to the medical report, Mr. Foster’s life expectancy was reduced from 39 to 31.5 years.
When the young man’s mother called the United Airlines accessibility desk before the trip, she said she was assured that her son would be properly assisted to get on and off the plane. The company is ready to compensate the disabled passengers after realizing that they did not provide the necessary care.
