Looks like the guy actually has some long term serious injuries out of this and is not just suing because he had a sore head for a few hours.

I can't fault his desire to sue.

Quote from first post ...

"...This is not the first time SIA has been sued for such accidents. In March 2004, a High Court awarded Dr Euan Murugasu $583,000 for his injuries, loss of earnings and cost of future medical treatment after a suitcase fell from an overhead compartment onto his neck.

Dr Murugasu, who is a President's Scholar, had to give up his job as a ear, nose and throat surgeon at Tan Tock Seng Hospital after the accident on an SIA flight in May 2000.

The pain from his injury affected his concentration and efficiency, he said, and he had to switch to a research job at which he earned much less. "

Dr Murugasu..! He's my classmate in primary school! Haven't seen him since though have heard about him being a surgeon ...

He was my classmate in primary school too! That means I must know you, Guy Betsy! Do send me a PM to keep in contact. Such a small world.

Euan is a good friend of mine from medical school. He was badly traumatised by the injury, but is OK now. Last met him on a flight (yes - SQ!).

He's in private practice. He's got a website - just google.

Yup, I saw his clinic at Mount Elizabeth Hospital when I was there last Dec.
