Advice to International Passengers on Limitation of Liability
Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or 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 embodied in applicable tariffs provide
that the liability of certain carriers parties to such special contracts
for death or a personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to
proven damages not to exceed U.S. $ 75,000 per passenger, and that this
liability up to such limit shall not depend on negligence on the part of
the carrier. For such passengers travelling 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 U.S $ 10,000 or U.S $ 20,000.
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 protection can easily 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
contract of carriage. For further information, please consult your
airline or insurance company representative.
NOTE: The limit of liability of U.S. $ 75,000 – 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 U.S. $ 58,000 – exclusive of legal fees and
costs.
