TL;DR
American Airlines has replaced the Wilson Elser law firm after it controversially argued that a 9-year-old girl was negligent for not noticing a camera phone taped to an airplane lavatory seat. The airline is now represented by Kelly Hart & Hallman. The case involves a former flight attendant accused of attempting to exploit children by recording them in the lavatory. The girl's family is suing American Airlines, and another family has filed a similar lawsuit in federal court.
