Personal Injury
Aircraft Accident Lawyers

If you have been injured on an aircraft, or whilst boarding or disembarking an aircraft, you may be entitled to compensation. Many airline passengers have rights to compensation without having to prove negligence. However, aircraft injury claims can be complex, as international conventions will often apply which incorporate specific criteria that passengers have to fulfil to be successful in their claim. We will guide you through the legal process and help you get the aircraft accident compensation you deserve.

Fortunately, aviation tragedies such as MH17, MH370 and Germanwings Flight 9525 are rare. However, airline passengers on domestic and international flights are often injured either onboard the aircraft or whilst boarding or disembarking. Regardless of your situation, we are here to help.
