A Yale University student is suing US Airways for $1 million over an Xbox 360 he says was lost on a flight.

Jesse Maiman says that the 360, which had a specialized hard drive, disappeared from his luggage during a flight from New Haven, Conn. to Cincinnati in December.

He is seeking $1,700 for the 360 and the maximum allowable damages, which is $1 million.

A US Airways spokeswoman points out that the government limits liability for lost luggage to $3,000 per a bag.

well if the douchbag is "smart" enough to be at Yale, then he should be aware your items are only insured to a certain amount. but, you have the option to buy insurance for it cheaply. and if it was SOOO special, why didnt you insure it or ship it?

How exactly is an Xbox worth $1700?

Cool. Maybe the kid is in Yale's law school and spent his time finding a way to pull something like this. If he represents himself we'll know what he's up to lol.

I say this is an extra credit project to see how much he can sue a major company for, if he wins I say he gets a whole lot of extra credit

This is almost as bad as the guy who sued for $24 million because a dry cleaner messed up his pants.

I think it was $42 million and that was far worse than this.

US Airways also sucks massive cock so I wouldn't mind if he won.

Actually:

Pearson has reduced his claim to $54 million. But he told the judge that he also wants to be awarded attorney's fees, even though he represents himself. He would like to be paid at a rate of between $390 and $425 an hour.

The guy was a judge and a douche nozzle... the poor store owner spent a fortune in legal fees to defend himself...

and the guy from Yale... hahahahahhahahahaha
If he sued to get it replaced it would be fine... He's just practicing for when he will be an ambulance chasing attorney...
(not all attorneys chase ambulances...lol)
Thanks to guys like him... we have frivolous lawsuits and uneeded insurance against frivolous lawsuits...

There should be a huge fine for idiotic claims ... and the fine should mirror the idiotic claim ... so if you sue for $1 million over a xbox and loose you should pay a fine of $1 million ...

Typical entitlement attitude. Someone has money and some else thinks they deserve it. Are you really shocked?
