Rodriguez v. Southwest Airlines Co. CA2/2
During boarding, airline passenger Eric Lopez (Lopez) refused to comply with preflight safety protocols for stowing baggage or to disembark voluntarily. Police were called, and all other passengers began to disembark. Another passenger, Trenton Scott Pickett-Evans (Pickett-Evans), approached and assaulted Lopez, causing injury to passenger Miguel Rodriguez (Rodriguez), who then sued the airline for negligence. The trial court granted the airline summary judgment, finding the airline owed no duty to protect Rodriguez from Pickett-Evans’s unforeseeable assault. We agree and affirm.
