BA passengers sue Boeing

not to mention the caterer and the agent who booked them on the flight....All criminally negligent.

Problem is, this action (writ) was taken in England, not the U.S. And as far as judges go, they "suck up" to the party that presents evidence in a case and decide upon the merits. If someone admits to trauma because of an event, it's up to the other party to prove to the judge or jury it wrong or minimize it.

Since this incident was as GE put it, a fly speck in an otherwise incident free record for both the engine and aircraft model, I am quite surprised that the plaintiffs did not name British Airways as a co-defendant as they are responsible for the inspection and maintenance.
