What happened

A proposed class action against American Airlines, apparently concerning disability discrimination in employment under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The docket reflects claims by named plaintiffs White, Springer, and Figueroa, but the underlying allegations are not detailed in this entry. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
