Making a claim against British Airways
Have you suffered injury or illness on a package holiday you booked with British Airways? You may be entitled to claim compensation.
You should be wary of accepting a short-term compensation offer or ‘good will gesture’ direct from the tour operator, and we would recommend seeking independent legal advice to ensure that you are not under-compensated.
Providing the following applies to you, contact us directly today on 0161 813 2131 to discover how much compensation you could be entitled to claim on a No Win No Fee basis:
- Your illness or injury was caused by a failure of part of the package you purchased
- The holiday was booked directly with British Airways as a package (which will be protected by the Package Travel Regulations 2018)
- The date of illness or injury is recent enough to be eligible to claim. The Limitation act dictates that a personal injury claim in the UK must be issued through the Court within 3 years of the date of illness or injury. For minors, a claim must be issued through the Court within 3 years following the Claimant’s 18th birthday.
- You can help evidence how your illness or injury was caused
