Curley v. American Airlines, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• negligence action regarding falling luggage affects service too remotely to be preempted
• passenger’s injuries while being detained and searched by Mexican authorities, after the captain of his flight falsely identified him as having smoked marijuana on the flight, were not caused by an “accident” under Article 17
• plaintiffs state law claims of negligence and false imprisonment, based on fact that captain informed ground personnel about passenger’s smoking habit, not preempted since such claims are based on conduct that is only tenuously related to airline services
