Lawsuit Says British Airways Flight Blow Caused Lasting Health Problems

Karen Gibbs says she was hurt on a British Airways flight from London to Washington.

She says a crew member accidentally hit her head while trying to handle a disturbance involving another passenger.

Gibbs says she felt pain, dizziness and confusion afterward.

She later reported headaches, vision problems and trouble remembering and concentrating.

She says these problems made it difficult to work and forced her to retire early.

She is suing British Airways for money to cover medical care and other losses.

British Airways has not accepted the allegations and says it cannot comment while the case is in court.

Gibbs previously attended Howard University with Kamala Harris.
