( CNN ) -- A passenger who says she was injured after the nose gear of a Southwest Airlines jetliner collapsed during a landing at New York 's LaGuardia Airport filed a lawsuit , according to her attorney . Jacqueline Young 's `` injuries include her head , neck , back , and shoulder ... she got hurt when she was sliding down the ramp and there was no one there to catch her , '' according to her lawyer , Sanford Rubenstein . According to the city 's port authority , 10 people suffered minor injuries as a result of the July 22 landing . Southwest Flight 345 was landing at LaGuardia from Nashville about 5:40 p.m. when the incident occurred . The nose of the blue-and-orange Boeing 737 jet came to rest on the ground after the aircraft came to a stop , and passengers evacuated the aircraft on emergency slides . The lawsuit against Southwest Airlines , filed in Queens , New York , alleges that due to the airline 's `` negligence '' Young , 48 , `` sustained serious , severe and permanent injuries to her limbs and body , still suffers and will continue to suffer for some time , great physical and mental pain and serious bodily injury . '' `` We are unable to comment on pending litigation , '' according to Whitney Eichinger , a representative for the airline . The National Transportation Safety Board said that video and other sources provide evidence that the nose gear contacted the tarmac before the main wheels . Under a normal landing in a big jet , the main landing gear under each wing would touch the runway first and simultaneously -- absorbing the main stress of landing -- and the nose gear then lowered gradually as the plane decelerates down the runway . `` The aircraft skidded down the runway on its nose and then veered off and came to rest in a grass area between the runway and taxiway foxtrot , '' Thomas Bosco , the airport 's general manager , told reporters shortly after the crash . It stopped about halfway down the 7,000-foot runway . A total of 150 people were aboard the flight . Initially , the Federal Aviation Administration said the crew reported a possible nose gear problem before landing , but later amended that to say that after it reviewed air controller tapes , no issues were noted ahead of time . `` They are responsible for landing the plane properly ... to have the nose pointed upward so the main landing gear touches down first , '' Rubenstein told CNN Saturday . His client lives in South Carolina . CNN 's Mike Ahlers , Caleb Silver and Aaron Cooper contributed to this report .
