ADVICE
TO INTERNATIONAL
PASSENGERS ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY |
Passengers
on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop
in a country other than the country of origin are
advised that the provisions of a treaty known as the
Warsaw Convention may be applicable to the entire
journey. Including any portion entirely within the
country of origin or destination. For such passengers on
a journey to, from, or with an agreed stopping place in
the United States of America, the Convention and special
contracts of carriage embodied in applicable tariffs
provide that the liability of certain carriers, parties
to such special contracts, for death of or personal
injury to passengers is limited in most cases to proven
damages not to exceed US $75,000.00 per passenger, and
that this liability up to such limit shall not depend on
negligence on the part of the carrier. The limit of
liability of US $75,000.00 above is inclusive of legal
fees and costs except that in case of a claim brought in
a state where provision is made for separate award of
legal fees and costs, the limit shall be the sum of US
$58,000.00 exclusive of legal fees and costs. For such
passengers traveling by a carrier not a party to such
special contracts or on a journey not to, from, or
having an agreed stopping place in the United States of
America, liability of the carrier for death or personal
injury to passengers is limited in most cases to
approximately US $10,000.00 or US $20,000.00.
The names of carriers, parties to such special
contracts, are available at all ticket offices of such
carriers and may be examined on request. Additional
information can usually be obtained by purchasing
insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not
affected by any limitation of the carrier's liability
under the Warsaw Convention or such special contracts of
carriage. For further information please consult your
airline or insurance company representative. |
