Airline Compensation
Flight delay claims are typical small claims in that whilst highly complex issues arise of both fact and law, they are generally of a low value. Costs can be recovered but these are fixed costs. Where a flight has been cancelled or delayed in excess of three hours, there is a right to compensation, so long as the cause of the delay was not for exceptional circumstances, such as a volcano eruption, and that the airline took reasonable steps to avoid the cancellation.
Even in these cases which are considered low value it is often the case that some legal assistance from a litigator with experience of the area, can make the difference between a case that fails and a successful outcome recovering the sums of money sought.
