Family Sues Allegiant Air for Wrongful Death of Son with Muscular Dystrophy
A family has filed a lawsuit against Allegiant Air following the death of their twenty-four-year-old son with muscular dystrophy during boarding at Huntington Tri-State Airport in West Virginia. The incident occurred on March 28, 2024, when Hunter Adkins fell from an unsecured wheelchair pushed by crew members. The family claims the airline rushed the process, leading to inadequate assistance and a lack of safety straps. Witnesses, including Hunters father and nine-year-old brother, saw the wheelchair tip over at the plane door, resulting in Hunters fatal injury. The lawsuit accuses Allegiant of ignoring federal rules and alleges poor hiring, training, and supervision. The family seeks damages and a jury trial, including relief for the emotional distress experienced by Hunters brother.
