KUALA LUMPUR — An Australian nurse is suing AirAsia over an incident last year where a stewardess fell on her when the plane hit turbulence during a flight to Thailand.
Australian daily Herald Sun reported that the fall caused 36-year-old Erin Crocker multiple joint fractures and a torn ligament which required major surgery.
It said Ms Crocker had rejected a settlement offer from AirAsia, which her lawyer Nancy Yonan described as “only a minute fraction of the claim’s true value”.
AirAsia, which recently suffered its first air disaster after flight QZ8501 from Surabaya to Singapore crashed into the Java Sea killing all 162 on board, had also wanted her to agree not to make any further claims, the report added.
Ms Yonan said Ms Crocker initially did not want to take “money away from those victims” by pursuing her legal action, but eventually decided to “fight for her rights”. THE MALAYSIAN INSIDER
