Finding that Florida law applies to educational malpractice claims, a federal judge in Illinois is allowing the families of victims of a 2018 plane crash in Cuba to proceed with their lawsuit against Global One Training Group. The plaintiffs argue that Global One negligently trained aviation staff, contributing to the crash. In an opinion issued on August 30, U.S. District Judge Edmond E. Chang denied Global One’s attempts to dismiss the suit, noting that Florida law recognizes the claims against the company. The judge highlighted that “the alleged conduct that allegedly caused the injury—Global One’s alleged negligent training and instruction—happened in Florida,” and emphasized that Global One is incorporated and headquartered in Florida. The majority of the plaintiffs are Cuban citizens, which weakens any connection to Illinois. For further details, refer to the original article.
