Here at Sarah Waddington Solicitors, we specialise in flight delay claims in accordance with EU regulation 261/2004 and our experts are here to make it easy for you to get the compensation you deserve. We understand that for many people making a claim against an airline can be a daunting experience. Flight delays take place every second of the day and so, it is more than likely that thousands of people are due compensation.
How much compensation am I due?
The annual number of flights arriving and departing from the UK is increasing each year, meaning that the amount of delays taking place is rapidly growing daily. There are several factors that affect the amount of compensation you could be worth, the main one being the distance your flight covers, as well as the hours the flight is delayed for.
Generally, the longer the flight the higher the compensation and that is why, being aware of the time you were delayed for is a crucial part of the compensation claim process. As an example, if you fly within the EU over 1500km and your flight is delayed for more than 3 hours, you could be entitled to up to €400 per passenger in compensation. And if your flight is over 3500km, the compensation you’re due can be as high as receiving €600 back for each passenger who was delayed.
If the delay or cancellation has been caused by an ‘extraordinary circumstance’ – it is more than likely that you won’t receive compensation as the airlines don’t take responsibility and you aren’t entitled to claim. Security risks, severe weather conditions, manufacturing recalls and acts of terrorism are some of the main categories that are classed as an extraordinary circumstance.
What Sarah Waddington Solicitors can do to help!
If you have checked the eligibility criteria and have taken into account your specific flight delay situation, we are here to help you claim the money back you deserve. We will eliminate all stress on your behalf, remove the frustration of going through the entire ‘claiming’ process and take full control of your compensation case that you have contacted us regarding.
After you have got in touch with our helpful team, we will require a series of information which will highly benefit the case as the more detail we have, the more it will help when writing to the airline and explaining how and why the client is entitled to receive compensation. We will then write to the airline, highlighting the facts, giving evidence and indicating what we require from them.
Once the claim has been sent to the airline, we will await their response. Their comeback will determine the next steps and we will advise, take control and work out the next plan of action. With a wealth of knowledge, our team make the process simple, easy and effective. If you require any assistance or need any questions answered, our team are on hand to deal with your query efficiently and competently, ensuring you have answers to your questions within hours.
