A Maryland woman who suffered two fractures in her left leg while getting off a British Airways flight at Heathrow is suing the airline for over £50,000. Melissa Phillips, 49, says crowded, damp steps and little crew direction caused her 2023 fall. BA denies liability, arguing she was not looking where she stepped, but has offered almost £7,000 towards medical costs. A hearing is pending.
