Woman kicked off plane demands $10 million
Local media reported Thursday the lawsuit documented by Mediora Clay Reading, 68, against Southwest Airlines, under the gaze of a New York court.
Mediora Clay Reading, is the one who makes the accusation of having to leave the plane in which he planned to travel to Washington from Palm Beach (southeast Florida). After being expelled from the plane for removing her mask due to health problems, she claims 10 million dollars in compensation from the company.
The information regarding the lawsuit was offered by the local CBS channel. He claims that the flight crew ejected Clay Reading from the plane after several times in which the passenger removed her mask to drink water. She did this on different occasions due to a health problem in which she must stay hydrated.
In the lawsuit, the passenger indicates that she should regularly drink water because she suffers from heart problems, claustrophobia, extreme hypoglycemia and fainting. All of this is triggered every time you use the mask.
It also includes in the lawsuit that after an extensive discussion with a flight attendant about his problems with the mask, Clay Reading had to leave the plane.
The woman was left bewildered, trembling, crying, unable to inhale through her nose and hyperventilating.
The media tried to get a response from the airline, but no statement was forthcoming.
The necessary measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during flights have triggered an increase in mishaps and some violent events inside the planes.
Last year, the US Civil Aviation Administration (FAA) received a total of 5,981 reports of unruly travelers from US airlines, of which 1,081, or 183 more than in 2020, warranted review, leading to 350 legal actions.
