Aviation Accident Claims

If you’ve been involved in an aviation accident that occurred as a result of another party’s negligence or for which another party has strict liability, you may be able to claim for compensation.


This applies irrespective of the type of aircraft involved, from a paraglider, hang glider or helicopter to a light aircraft or commercial airliner.

Because of the complexities of aviation accidents, it’s strongly advised that you consult specialist attorneys if you think you have a claim.
