A passenger, Eugenia Lyashenko, has filed a lawsuit against United Airlines after suffering serious injuries from a falling carry-on suitcase during boarding on June 21, 2023. She claims the airline’s negligence in enforcing safe baggage handling contributed to the incident, which left her with significant physical impairments. The lawsuit emphasizes the need for stricter carry-on weight limits, contrasting United’s no-limit policy with those of other international airlines. The case, referencing Article 17 of the Montreal Convention, highlights growing safety concerns regarding carry-on luggage and the responsibility of airlines to ensure passenger safety during boarding operations.
