Illinois based United Airlines sues city of Chicago
The City of Chicago is being sued by United Airliens for more than $1,000,000 for an accident that took place in 2005.
A United jet was pushing back from its gate at O'Hare Airport when it struck a city truck.
The lawsuit which was filed on Friday, states that the truck was not supposed to be where it was and that ground control was never notifiied by the City of Chicago that the truck was in the vacinity of the aircraft.
The airlines was hoping to collect from AIG, insurance carrier for the city. United's own insurance paid out a little more than $400,000. The City of Chicago is also triying to collect $21,600 for damage to the truck.
