Expert's Assistant chat
Customer: United list my bag on Friday. I was traveling to a snowboarding vacation they lost all my gear and clothes and kosher food and other religious necessities. I still have not gotten my bag this ruined my entire trip. I have at least $8,000 in damages this is beside the religious aspect which is not is worth more than gold to me. In the meantime they keep saying it's coming but it never shows up. I would like to sue the airline and add in the religious aspect. I'm looking for a lawyer that can win a big settlement.
JA: The Lawyer can help you determine if you have a case. Where are you located? These laws vary by state.
Customer: Currently in Salt Lake city Utah flew in from nyc Newark
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: They really messed me over and I apple with at least 3 managers that said they can't do anything and refused to escalate my call to higher management.

Since I have not heard from you, this is the best answer I can provide:

You have a claim for breach of contract. If necessary, you could sue for all of your damages.

Customer
perfect would take the case
And how much would you evaluate my religiosity losses
The vacation was $8500 including flights and my luggage called I estimate is actually around $6-7k as well I had expensive ski gear and expensive clothing and religious items

Matthew, Expert

I don't know how to value religious items. You might need an expert witness to establish their value.
Customer

Yes.

Customer
