Turning a Nap into False Imprisonment
June 5, 2010
Walter Olson’s invaluable Overlawyered links to the story of a woman who is suing an airline because she was left asleep in a plane after it had landed. Upon waking up about three hours later in an empty plane, the woman was confused, but otherwise unharmed – at least that’s how she appeared to the airport security officers who escorted her off the plane about 15 minutes later. Behind every whacky lawsuit, there’s usually a sleazy lawyer. Enter Geoffrey Fieger, who is now accusing the airline of “false imprisonment, negligence emotional duress and breach of contract.” Fieger is about as sleazy as they come.
