Frequently Asked Questions
What costs can be claimed from an aircraft accident?
The injuries sustained and their severity will determine what damages are claimable. You may be able to claim such things as immediate and future pain and suffering, lost income, other financial losses (including superannuation), medical expenses and impairment benefits.
You may be able to claim dependency damages if someone in your family has died in an aircraft accident. This will usually depend on whether you were financially reliant on them.
Who pays the aircraft accident and crash claims?
The circumstances of your particular matter will determine which organisation is liable to you for the damages claimable. Some of the organisations could be the aircraft operator, manufacturer or maintenance engineer; the airport corporation or other airport site operator; or another agency, such as the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
What is classified as an ‘aircraft’ for claims purposes?
Aircraft, for claims purposes, includes commercial airliners, light aircraft, hot air balloons, seaplanes, helicopters and drones.
When should I make a claim following an aircraft accident?
Australia has a two-year time limit to make a claim for commercial flight accidents. We recommend filing your claim as soon as you’re able, preferably within a year of the accident. If the incident was on an international flight, we can work with you to determine and stick to the relevant time frames of the particular country or international convention.
