Air India accident - important information
A friend decided to share this important information as his father was in the insurance industry and he is fully aware how air accident compensation claims work.
1. HIRE a lawyer who knows aviation or insurance law.
2. DO NOT sign anything the airline or anyone asks you to sign without vetting by your lawyer.
3. Passengers on the flight are covered under the Montreal Convention 1999. Your lawyer should have good knowledge of compensation under this convention.
4. People & property on the ground are covered by the airline's third party insurance policy.
Don't go by any PR announcements of compensation being made in media.
Air Accident Compensation is a brutal lawyer-led industry. There is no sympathy in their conversations. The insurance lawyers will try to save as much compensation money as possible. See past history of disputes after crashes for reference, search on Google.
If there are lawyers who can help victims, tag them in the replies so that next of kin can know. more
