American Airlines apologized after lawyers for the carrier made a shocking claim that a 9-year-old girl should have known that she was being filmed in the airline bathroom by a creepy flight attendant.
The airline blamed “outside legal counsel retained with our insurance company” and said it would withdraw the legal filing.

The hurried correction came on the heels of the Monday legal filing in which the airline’s attorneys suggested that the girl who was allegedly filmed in an airplane bathroom “knew or should have known” that the lavatory contained “a visible and illuminated recording device.”

Yea sometimes you actually have to get off your arse and do something other than drafting and filing the form response.

Unless he's a partner that lawyer is probably about to be out of work too.

yep, and this was a firm contracted by the insurance company, dumbass shot from the lip, AA reacted promptly and appropriately, kind of hard to classify this as sinking further toward the abyss

It's a legal proceeding. I'd expect my lawyer to use whatever tactic he can to limit my exposure. I don't want him tossing out potentially good arguments because "that sounds too mean." If there's an argument to be made that the victim didn't do what was necessary and reasonable, and that's not my fault, it needs to be made.

With a minor there was zero chance of the victim being assigned culpability and a public company has more to be concerned with than win at all costs. This was not a potentially good argument to anyone who is not willfuly ignorant to reality.

probably an ignorant lawyer that assumes that there are remote cameras in the lavs(there are remote cameras on certain parts of the airplane,) this day and age the standards for hiring in all professions is extremely low to non-existent

It was simply the filing of an answer and, in most jurisdictions, the answering deadline has to file the answer and plead all affirmative defenses allowed under law within 15-21 days of receiving suit. In many cases, the defendant receiving service of a lawsuit is often times first notice of the claim. I know it looks bad in this case, but the answering defendant will often plead any and all available affirmative defenses - which usually include victim fault and 3rd party fault- out of an abundance of caution because you either plead it, or lose it.

And any lawyer not educated at Southern Law Center knows such filings are public record and that there are sensitvities in both that a minor is involved and that American is a large and prominent public company. Can you list a single example of any case where a minor was involved such as this were any culpability was assigned to a minor?

and a minor didn't file this suit, if the perv is guilty of being a perv he should be criminally charged, but the first move on the board is positioning for a money grab

Sure, for yourself as an individual. If you're a corporation that stands to lose in the court of public opinion? Victim blaming a 9 year old as a defense isn't the best look

Did your mom kick the drinking habit she had when she was pregnant?

Might work in the court room. In the court of public opinion, it'd be alot better to admit fault and cut the check. Lawyer did not get that memo, but I'm certain they got a different type of memo after.
