American Airlines blamed Texas girl for being filmed in airplane bathroom in court filing that company now says was made in 'error'
“Defendant would show that any injuries or illnesses alleged to have been sustained by Plaintiff, Mary Doe, were proximately caused by Plaintiff’s own fault and negligence, were proximately caused by Plaintiff’s use of the compromised lavatory, which she knew or should have known contained a visible or illuminated recording device,” the court filing read.
“Our outside legal counsel retained with our insurance company made an error in this filing,” the airline said in a statement on Wednesday. “The included defense is not representative our airline, and we have directed it be amended this morning. We do not believe this child is at fault, and we take the allegations involving a former team member very seriously.”
