Chinese professor injured in crash sues Asiana
A Chinese professor who was seriously injured in the Asiana Airlines crash has filed a US$5 million lawsuit against the carrier in San Francisco federal court.
Zhengheng Xie, whose lawsuit was filed on Monday, is filing under an exemption in an international treaty that limits legal actions by foreigners.
But Xie’s son purchased his father’s round-trip ticket in the United States, making it an exception to the treaty. That gives Xie the right to sue Asiana in the United States
The July 6 crash left three passengers dead and 180 injured.
