If you have suffered a serious injury or illness, you may be entitled to air accident compensation. Starting an air travel claim requires expertise in, and we are here to guide you through the process.
This service also extends beyond commercial airlines. We can assess claims arising from other flight-based incidents governed by the same international conventions, such as those involving hot air balloons or skydiving.
The Complex Legal Framework
Accidents involving international flights (or domestic flights performed by an EU air carrier) are governed by the rules of Montreal Convention..
Scope of Liability
Accidents are covered whilst onboard the flight, during embarkation and disembarkation (i.e., as you are making your way to get on and get off the plane).
The Convention
Under the Montreal Convention the airline operator is liable for injuries sustained as a result of an ‘accident’. The term ‘accident’ is defined as an unexpected or unusual event that is external to the passenger.
