Air Accidents FAQs

At JMR Solicitors, we appreciate that any accident or injury sustained while on an aircraft can be a terrifying experience. Fortunately, aviation disasters remain a rare event, however, we understand that the aftermath of such an event can be incredibly stressful. If you or a loved one has been the victim of an accident while on board any type of aircraft including helicopters, light aircraft, military aircraft or other forms of carrier, either domestically or internationally, you may be entitled to claim compensation without having to prove fault on the part of the operator.

What are some of the common air accidents?

Common accidents on planes include:

  • Luggage falling from overhead lockers – whiplash air accident
  • Hot drinks spilt on you – burn and scalding accidents in an aeroplane
  • Aircraft crashes and collisions
  • Slipping and tripping accidents

What is the Montreal Convention?

The Montreal Convention is international law – when it applies no other law applies. It provides for compensation for the following during an international flight:

  1. Personal injury or death to passengers
  2. Passenger delay and baggage delay or loss

Aviation disasters, fortunately, remain rare but can have devastating impact. We have the skills and expertise to guide families through the aftermath of such a tragedy. We also appreciate that suffering any accident whilst flying above the earth is frightening and stressful. If you have been victim of an accident while travelling onboard aircraft, domestically or internationally, or on a helicopter, light aircraft, military aircraft or any other form of air carrier, JMR are here to assist.

What is the limitation period to claim compensation for aircraft accident personal injury?

The Montreal Convention allows a 2-year period from the date of the accident to claim compensation for personal injury.
In the UK an accident claim must be underway within three years from the date of an accident, but if the accident is an air accident the time is only two years from the date of the accident.
For this reason, it is essential that you acquire expert legal advice as soon as is possible to avoid any delay in the processing of your claim.

Review for JMR Solicitors

Marium and her team did an amazing job in helping my partner get a rightful settlement in the country. Since day one, they've been very thorough, patient and relentless in their pursuit of our cause. Our case at some point had to be taken to court and they even recommended/provided one of the best Barristers out there. Thank you JMR and no doubt I'll be giving you a call should we need your service in future. Highly recommend. Sushma Pun
