Liability Risk and Insurance
Recent case: Turbulence – are you liable?
It is generally accepted that airlines are not liable for injuries to staff if resulting from clear air turbulence (CAT) in
flight. However, according to commercial law firm, Beachcroft, the recent High Court case of
Susan Andrews v British Airways
is a useful reminder that liability needs to be carefully considered in all cases of turbulence and specialist expert evidence
will be required.
