Typical accidents which cause personal injury on board an aircraft

Accidents on board aircraft are more common than many people realise. If you have been involved in an accident on board an aircraft, which has resulted in personal injury, either during the flight or while embarking or disembarking, you may be able to claim personal injury compensation- even if the accident happened up to two years ago.
If you have suffered a personal injury as the result of an accident on board an aircraft during the past two years, which was not your fault, your holiday may have been ruined as a result. By claiming compensation for personal injury, you can get the payout you deserve.

The 1999 Montreal Convention defines an up-to-date set of rules, and states the liability of the air carrier to the passenger. The air carrier is strictly liable for personal injury which may occur on board the aircraft, or when embarking or disembarking. To put it simply, this means that you don´t have to prove the airline was to blame for the accident.

Typical accidents which cause personal injury on board an aircraft are:

• Items falling from overhead lockers causing personal injury to a passenger
• Hot drinks spilling and causing burns
• Tripping/Slipping
• Food/Duty Free Trolleys hitting a passenger's arm/leg

If you are transported by bus from the airport terminal building to the aircraft or vice versa, and the bus has an accident which results in personal injury, you may still be eligible for holiday accident claims compensation. The accident which caused personal injury would be classed as taking place during embarkation/disembarkation. Also, if you require assistance/wheelchair assistance and an incident occurs causing personal injury, you may be able to claim compensation for personal injury.
If you have suffered personal injury while travelling on board an aircraft, or whilst travelling to or from the airport terminal, Farnworth Rose Personal Injury Solicitors can help get you the compensation you deserve.
