  • It's Not About the Plaintiffs' Lawyers...

    Delta Airlines ordered to pay damages to a man who unknowingly smuggled drugs after a baggage handler planted them in his suitcase. Delta Airlines has been ordered to pay $759,000 in damages to a security guard accused of smuggling cocaine in his suitcase, The Daily News reported yesterday.


    ok so, they cold busted the baggage people and there is no question that Delta is vicariously liable for their employees' and contractors' eff-ups. Yet, five years after the event and presumably at least two years of litigation, the douche bag lawyer for delta says they are going to appeal. Dead wrong and told so by a jury. Ow up to it and get it over with. The poor guy was intentionally victimized by your drug dealing employees and you wanna continue to drag him threw shit?!?!

    700K in damages seems steep and possibly worthy of appeal, on the other hand, the dudes legal expenses for being busted in posession...and in a non US legal system...pretty scary.

      he was in the US--Brooklyn NY. damages for various things are calculated by a formula, especially when it comes to things like pay, benefits etc. also, since i didn't look into it very much, delta could've been hit with punitive damages if there was something they knew about but didn't address.
