International Flights are generally governed by the Warsaw Convention. The Warsaw Convention is an international agreement that places a limit on the amount of damages recoverable for passenger personal injuries on flights. Can I Sue An Airline For My Personal Injuries On An International Flight?If you have been injured on an international flight, the first thing to determine is where the flight originated. Where the flight originated may determine which Court has jurisdiction over your case.
If you prefer to sue in a United States Court and your flight originated, stopped or terminated in the United States, then the United States may have jurisdiction. However, the amount of money you can receive for your injuries will likely be limited by the Warsaw Convention. If your injury took place while on board the plane, the amount of money you may be able to recover will be limited to $75,000 per passenger. Do I Need A Personal Injury Lawyer?If you have been injured on an international flight and would like recovery for your injuries, then seeking out a personal injury lawyer would be able to help you resolve your claim. |
