Lawsuits filed after Delta crash in Toronto despite Airline’s $30,000 offer

Delta Air Lines is facing lawsuits following last week’s crash landing of an Endeavor Air CRJ-900 in Toronto. Despite offering each of the 76 passengers $30,000 in compensation—totaling $2.3 million—some passengers are suing for more, citing severe injuries and emotional distress.

A Texas man claims he was left “suspended upside down” and covered in jet fuel, leading to significant physical and mental trauma. Another lawsuit, filed by a Minneapolis woman, alleges “extreme bodily and mental injuries.” The lawsuits argue that the flight crew failed to follow fundamental landing procedures.

Under the Montreal Convention, an international treaty governing airline liability, injured passengers can claim up to $200,000, or more if negligence is proven. Passengers have two years to file lawsuits.

Twenty-one people were hospitalized after the crash but have since been released. Delta maintains that both pilots were properly certified, with the captain having experience in pilot training and safety. The first officer, hired last year, holds the highest U.S. pilot certification.

The National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA are investigating the incident, while the aircraft has been removed from the runway. More lawsuits are expected.
