The husband of an obese New York City woman who died while vacationing in Europe after trying and failing to fly back to the U.S. for medical treatment has settled his $10 million lawsuit against three airlines who refused to let his wife on board.

Reports the Daily News:

Janos Soltesz, 57, quietly settled his wrongful death suit against Delta, KLM Royal Dutch and Lufthansa airlines in late August, court documents show.

The suit accused the airlines of having sent his 407-pound wife Vilma "on a debilitating 'wild goose chase' from airline to airline, airport to home, and country to country" that caused her to lose her life in Oct. 2012.

In addition to morbid obesity, Vilma, 56, had a partially amputated leg that left her wheelchair bound, court papers say.

The terms of the settlement weren't disclosed. Law Blog has reached out to Mr. Soltesz's lawyer and attorneys representing the airlines for comment.

Ms. Soltesz flew to Budapest on Sept.18, 2012, without incident, but her trouble started after she began feeling ill and sought treatment in Hungary, according to a complaint that Mr. Soltesz filed against the airlines in federal court in Manhattan.

The couple first tried to head home on a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight, but "it was discovered that the backs of two seats in their row were broken," preventing Ms. Soltesz from maneuvering into her assigned seat, the lawsuit suit. Forced to disembark, the couple tried to catch a Oct. 16 Delta flight, according to the complaint, but the plane lacked a "proper wheelchair to transport Vilma to her seat, despite assurances from the airline that necessary accommodations had been made.
