An Australian man is suing American Airlines after being seated next to two passengers he claims were ‘grossly obese’.
Michael Anthony Taylor alleges that he suffered severe injuries in the 14-hour journey from Sydney to Los Angeles in December 2015 sitting by the ‘obese’ couple.
According to the lawsuit, the body of the passenger next to Taylor “spilt over and encroached” upon his seat, forcing him to “contort his body into a series of positions including standing up, crouching, keeling and leaning forward,” reports news.com.au.
Taylor, who is reported to have a pre-existing spinal curvature, claims he suffered even more back injuries and neck pains though it’s been well over a year since the trip.
