Description
1 At issue in this case is whether a plaintiff can pursue a state common-law negligence claim alleging that an airline negligently failed to warn passengers about the dangers of deep vein thrombosis ("DVT"), or whether such claims are preempted by federal law. Jerome J. Miezin and Patricia Miezin (collectively, "Miezin") appeal from a judgment dismissing their state common-law negligence and loss of consortium claims, respectively, against Midwest Express Airlines, Inc., ("Midwest"). Miezin argues the trial court erroneously granted summary judgment in Midwests favor after concluding that Miezins state common-law negligence claim is preempted by federal law and, in the alternative, that Midwest had no duty under Wisconsin common law to warn airline passengers about the dangers of DVT.
