An Introduction To Claiming Travel Compensation
Holidays should be a spot of respite, a chance to unwind and spend some quality time
with those close to you, away from the demands and stresses of everyday life, free from the worries around work, school and everything in-between. Unfortunately accidents don't take vacations and by their very nature can easily happen when you're least expecting it.Travelling can be full of dangers so it's best to be aware of where you stand legally, before you start out on your trip. Should you or a family member be a victim of injury while you're entering or exiting the aircraft you may have a right to claim reimbursement from the airline. Depending on the circumstances of the accident if blame can be clearly laid on the company who didnt take the necessary precautions to keep their passengers safe from injury then you should certainly consult a personal injury lawyer. It is the airlines responsibility to ensure their customers travel in a safe environment.
Although there is a limit of about two years in which you'd have to file a claim for an air-based accident you should report to a personal accident agency as soon as the mishap occurs for a better chance at a successful case. Many law practices that centre around personal injury and accident claims actually offer free consultations in the first instance which is worth keeping in mind if you're put off by how much the case might potentially cost.
It is best to find a well established agency that's had experience in dealing with claims against airlines and who have a considerable team of UK-based experts who are committed to flight compensation and dealing with claims concerning vacations and travelling to, from and in foreign lands. It's also vital that they have strong ties with other agents and agencies operating in a variety of foreign countries, as these agents will be more informed and familiar with the specific laws of the country concerned. Typically the claim will be registered either in the country where the airlines based, the country the accident victim was travelling to, or the country where the victim resides as long as the airline does business there.
There are a wide variety of accidents that may entitle victims to a claim, including but not limited to; a mid-air collision, a crash on the runway during takeoff or landing, hot food and drink be spilled, food poisoning resulting from airline food, tripping due to a hazard that shouldn't be there, and injury sustained from baggage falling out of the overhead lockers. But there are many more so you should inform your lawyers and they will be able to tell you if you're eligible or not.
