Frequently Asked Questions
Find out more about the kinds of travel claims we handle and how we can help you claim compensation for what you’re going through.Ships, trains, aircraft and other transport vehicles are complex machines and, when things go wrong, it can be a complicated process to understand why.
Causes of accidents might include:
- Mechanical or manufacturing faults
- Malfunctioning equipment
- Human error by a driver, pilot, captain or crew
- Act of Terrorism sabotage or other criminal activity
- Natural forces, such as storms.
Establishing who is at fault for accidents at sea, on the rails or in the air can be difficult, and every case is different. The nature of such incidents means that evidence can be very hard to recover and the fatality rate is often high, making it harder to piece together the circumstances.
Our team has extensive experience in a wide range of air, rail and maritime cases, and has the expertise necessary to get you the answers that you need in this difficult time. Official accident reports and public enquiries can often take a long time to process, leaving victims and their families in uncertainty as to what happened, but we will work with you and leading experts that we instruct to try and get answers as soon as possible.
