Kitten's Hip Was Broken On A Delta Flight, But Airline Only Has to Pay $50, Court Rules
A New York state appeals court ruled on Wednesday that Delta Air Lines Inc. is liable for only $50 to a New York woman whose 8-week-old Savannah kitten suffered a broken hip while being shipped by the carrier to LaGuardia Airport. (www.stltoday.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
in my opinion it is too remote a consequence. Delta can rebut the claim! How about the possibility that the cut might have developed the injury before coming on-board?
Geez.. No Delta... What next... Delta should be made to pay up.. No reason for this crap.
$50 sounds bout right.
You obviously are not familiar with Savannah's!
You don't need to know contract law to know you should request extra insurance coverage when traveling with valuables that are not in your immediate control.
I may have missed something in the article but it sounds as though the kitten was traveling in the cargo hold. You pay $2300 for a cat and you don't keep it in the passenger cabin with you? (not in the overhead, as we have found out this week)
Airlines may start wising up and decide that carrying pets of any kind is more trouble than it's worth.
