United sues city of Chicago for $1M for jet-truck collision
By: John Pletz Feb. 02, 2010
(Crain’s) — United Airlines is suing the City of Chicago for more than $1 million for an accident five years ago, when a United jet pushed back from the gate at O’Hare International Airport and struck a city maintenance truck.
In a lawsuit filed Friday, Chicago-based United claims that the vehicle was there improperly and the city hadn’t notified ground control. The accident happened Feb. 2, 2005.
United had hoped to collect the $1 million from a city insurance policy issued through AIG Inc. United’s insurance paid $434,128. And the city tried to collect $21,600 from United for damage to its truck, according to the lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court. City officials declined to comment on the lawsuit.
