A Hartford woman who injured her right elbow and right arm when a Caribbean Airlines flight attendant pushed a food serving cart into her arm has filed a federal lawsuit against the airline.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, says Julie Swaby Smith was sleeping in an aisle seat in the middle of the night during the June 2017 flight from John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City to an airport in Kingston, Jamaica, when the incident happened. Smith’s arm was resting on the armrest adjacent to the aisle, according to the suit.
