Finally, with your approval, we arrive at the best compensation settlement possible.

Air Accidents

Experience

We have extensive experience in acting for clients who have been injured following accidents on board commercial or private aircraft or whilst in the process of embarkation or disembarkation from aircraft all around the world.

Basis of claim

Did you know that you might have a claim against an airline or carrier without having to prove fault? The provisions of the Warsaw and Montreal Conventions govern most claims for damages following air accidents and provide enhanced protection for passengers. Under the Conventions, if you have sustained injury following an accident whilst on a flight or during embarkation or disembarkation, you may have a claim against the carrier even if they were not at fault. Contact us now to find out more.

Where you can bring your claim

Depending upon the circumstances of your accident, it may be possible, to bring a claim against your air carrier in the U.K. Under the Montreal Convention, you have a choice of where to bring your claim which will include the country / state where the carrier is based, where you were flying to and where you permanently lived if the carrier also carries on business there. We can advise you further on this.

Time limit

NOTE!! The time limit for bringing a claim following an air accident is normally only 2 years from the date of the accident. It is therefore important that you contact us as soon as possible for advice. Remember, we offer a FREE initial consultation.
