    Let the Lawsuits Begin

    You heard about that Continental jet that slid off the runway in Denver a few days before Christmas then caught on fire – well, the lawyers are now involved.

    Two women who were passengers on the plane have filed suit in a district court in Houston – alleging that the pilots were negligent and/or there were mechanical problems. Continental’s retort: wait just a second, the federal investigators haven’t even figured out what caused the crash yet.

    Here’s what I found most interesting: according to a story in the Houston Chronicle, the two women told their lawyer that “they were unsatisfied with the way Continental treated them after the crash.” Yes, one of the women did receive money from the airline to compensate her for her lost belongings, but according to the lawyer, “Continental sent an employee to supervise her shopping”.

    That lawyer says, there will be more lawsuits. Quelle surprise.
