Delta Faces Lawsuits Following Plane Crash at Toronto Airport

Two passengers sue Delta Air Lines over injuries and trauma after Flight 4819 overturned during a crash landing, as investigations into the cause continue.

Delta Flight 4819, operated by subsidiary Endeavor Air, crash-landed and overturned at Toronto Pearson International Airport on February 17, 2025, with all 80 aboard surviving.
Two passengers, one from Texas and one from Minnesota, have filed lawsuits alleging negligence, citing significant physical injuries and emotional trauma, including exposure to jet fuel.
Delta offered $30,000 in compensation to each passenger, stating the payment does not waive their legal rights to pursue further claims.
Investigations by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada and U.S. authorities are ongoing, with no official cause yet determined; factors like landing technique and potential mechanical issues are under review.
The crash has sparked online discussions, including unverified claims about the pilots’ qualifications, which Delta has refuted, emphasizing both pilots were FAA-certified and trained for such conditions.
