HOUSTON – A local man is suing United Airlines, alleging flight attendants bumped his elbow not once but twice with a service cart.
Scott Walkinshaw filed the suit Feb. 1 in Harris County District Court.
According to his lawsuit, on April 23, 2019, Walkinshaw was traveling first class on an United flight. During meal service, two flight attendants “carelessly came barreling” from the back of the aircraft with a service cart, “which was not supposed to be in the First Class cabin to begin with,” to retrieve an item.
In their rush, the flight attendants failed to notice Walkinshaw’s elbow was “protruding slightly into the aisle” as he cut his food, striking his elbow “with enough force to knock the utensil out of (his) hand.”
