Are you owed aviation compensation?

Have you ever wondered if you might have unclaimed money laid up somewhere?  Well . . . the truth is, thousands of people may have unclaimed aircraft compensation due them that they are not aware of.

Aviation or aircraft compensation claims can derive from a wide variety of mishaps.  These mishaps can range from crashes in the air to ground collisions and  from equipment malfunctions to bad maintenance of  air crafts.  Serious injuries caused by overhead baggage, burns from hot beverages, falls from stairwells, air show accidents, helicopter malfunctions, or acts by terrorists resulting from poor airport security, can all be incidents that lead to  aircraft compensation claims.

Aircraft passengers are protected by the Consumer Protection Act. Federal laws require airlines and pilots to guard our health and safety with great care.  In other words, all aircraft passengers are entitled to “duty of due care.” This mean airline carriers and private jet companies have a commitment to provide top standard care to its passengers.  Passengers also include pets.

As we all know, passengers are automatically eligible to receive refunds for flight delays, cancellations, or denied boarding.  But in some instances, claims can be filed for compensation for loss of  time and stress from long delays if the passengers deem it necessary.

Frequent fliers usually buy flight insurance to protect loved ones in the event of accidental death or dismemberment.  But family members of uninsured passengers rarely file aviation compensation claims with carriers because they don't realize that they have a claim, or because of the complexity of uninsured passenger claims.  For uninsured passengers liability has to  be established by the airlines and compensation  has to be determined based upon their health, loss of income, pension, and other factors that may apply.

In America  airline carriers offer less financial compensation for minor or insignificant crashes outside of the US than for more significant crashes that occur within  its boarders. This is because state, federal, and international laws apply, which makes air craft compensation claims difficult to process. Due to the intricacy of these claims, survivors of crashes or passengers who may have sustained aircraft injuries during a flight, seldom look into aircraft compensation claims.  This is mainly because most of them are just too grateful to be alive!
