Delta Flight Attendant Sues for $75M After Plane Flips in Toronto—Cites Pilot Inexperience and Safety Failures.

In the USA.

The news as it trends.

Vanessa Miles, a Detroit-based Delta flight attendant, has filed a $75 million lawsuit against Delta Air Lines and its regional partner Endeavor Air after surviving a harrowing crash.

On February 17, 2025, Flight 4819 flipped upside down while landing in Toronto.

Miles, traveling as an off-duty passenger, was knocked unconscious, drenched in jet fuel, and left with severe injuries.

Her lawsuit, recently filed, accuses the airlines of negligence—pointing to an inexperienced pilot and malfunctioning emergency equipment.

Miles claims the crash caused lasting physical and emotional trauma, including a fractured shoulder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Her legal team argues that the airlines prioritized profits over passenger safety, citing systemic failures in training and maintenance protocols.

The incident has sparked national attention, with aviation experts and safety advocates calling for deeper investigations into regional airline operations.

As inquiries continue, Miles’s case could become a pivotal moment in the push for stricter oversight and accountability in commercial aviation.
