Understanding the Montreal Convention

The Montreal Convention, previously known as Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air, is international law that was put into place to protect the rights of passengers, as well as establish rules regarding baggage and cargo. This law is applicable to passengers who are injured during international flights.

Under the Montreal Convention: 
“The carrier is liable for damage sustained in case of death or bodily injury of a passenger upon condition only that the accident which caused the death or injury took place on board the aircraft or in the course of any of the operations of embarking or disembarking.”

Common Questions

  • Who Is Liable for Airport Injuries?

    The party liable (legally responsible) for an accident or injury at an airport may be an airline or the airport itself. All but one commercial airport in the U.S. are owned and operated by public entities, and this can make filing a lawsuit challenging—but not impossible. At Arnold & Itkin, we have the experience and wherewithal to take on any airport or airline. We can investigate your accident to identify cause and then prove fault, which will open the door to the recovery of compensation for your injuries.

  • What Causes Airport Accidents?

    Many airport accidents are caused by unsafe conditions. Airports are busy places. You have thousands of people trying to get through security and to the correct gate, or who have just gotten off their flight and are headed to the baggage claim to get their luggage. You also have people taking passenger transport vehicles like trams, busses, and shuttles. All of this together can create a recipe for disaster if the airport is negligently maintained. Moving walkways, luggage conveyor belts, escalators, and electric carts can all pose hazards to people walking through the airport or getting their bags. Spills on walkways, defective flooring, broken handrails, and uneven airplane ramps can cause serious accidents.

  • What Can I Do if I Was Injured at an Airport?

    If you were injured at the airport, whether you were getting on a plane, were at a restaurant near your gate, or were harmed while trying to get your bag from the baggage claim, you may have a case against the airport, airline, or another party. Seek medical attention first and foremost, and then talk to an attorney. In nearly every case involving an airport accident, the at-fault party will try to deny liability. You’ll need someone in your corner to make sure your rights are protected every step of the way.
