Airline accidents
If you’ve been injured on a flight or at an airport we can help with an airline accident claim. Our team of specialist aviation accident lawyers have helped many clients to claim compensation after they were injured while on a plane, and are experienced in the additional complexities that in-flight injuries often involve.
We’ve helped clients to claim for lots of different types of injury sustained during a flight, but some of the most common are:
- Burns from drink spillages
- Injuries caused by items falling from overhead lockers
- Accidents while embarking a flight
- Accidents while disembarking a flight
Cruise ship accidents
If you suffer an avoidable accident on a cruise ship, you may be entitled to compensation.
Compensation may help to cover any financial loss you have incurred, or may go on to incur, due to your cruise ship injury. It may also be paid in recognition of the time you were unable to enjoy the cruise and your pain and suffering.
Some of the common claims we deal with are:
- Slips and trips on board
- Faulty equipment
- Whilst in the process of embarking and disembarking
- Accidents during excursions
- Negligent medical treatment provided by the cruise ship medical team
- Assaults
- Swimming pool related incidents
