I was injured whilst I was boarding a plane in Australia travelling to Spain. Can I make a claim under Australian law?
- The Warsaw Convention applies to all personal injuries to a passenger from the time of boarding until disembarking on international flights.
- The time of boarding is not a precise time but refers to the time when the passenger is waiting to get on board a flight.
- It is not possible to make a claim under other laws in these circumstances.
- You can use our free and anonymous Ask a Lawyer service if you have a particular issue you want to know more about.
