Aviation / Maritime Injury
Back
Special rules apply to injuries sustained by aeroplane passengers and those at sea. 

For aeroplane injuries under Article 17 of the Warsaw Convention the airline must compensate you for your injuries as a result of your accident without you having to prove any fault on the part of the airline.  The notion of accident is widely construed as "an unusual and unexpected event or happening external to the passenger”. 

For injuries at sea English law will often apply especially if a contract for carriage was made under English law.  Claims are brought both under breach of contract and breaches of duty of care. 

In the vast majority of cases we are able to act for you with a guarantee that there will be no cost to you win or lose.  If you succeed in your claim you will keep all of your compensation.  If your claim is unsuccessful you will not have to make any contribution towards your legal costs.

Please do contact our specialist team today to see how we can best help.

To see how compensation is calculated please browse our "type of injury” pages.
