Agreement Relating to Liability Limitation of the Warsaw Convention

Read a random definition: coercive relief

A quick definition of Agreement Relating to Liability Limitation of the Warsaw Convention:

Agreement Relating to Liability Limitation of the Warsaw Convention: This is an agreement that most international airlines have signed. It means that if something bad happens to a passenger during a flight, the airline can't use certain excuses to avoid paying for it. Instead, they have to pay up to $75,000 per passenger. This agreement was made because the old rules only allowed airlines to pay about $20,000, which wasn't enough. The new rules apply to flights that start, stop, or end in the United States.

A more thorough explanation:

The Agreement Relating to Liability Limitation of the Warsaw Convention is a private agreement signed by most international airlines. It waives the limitation on liability for death and personal injury cases set by the Warsaw Convention, which is currently about $20,000. It also raises the liability limit per passenger to $75,000 and provides for absolute liability on the part of the carrier for all flights originating, stopping, or terminating in the United States.

The Montreal Agreement was the result of negotiations in 1965 and 1966 following the United States' denunciation of the Warsaw Convention. The low liability limits set by the convention were the primary reason for the denunciation.

For example, if a passenger is injured or killed during a flight originating, stopping, or terminating in the United States, the airline is absolutely liable for damages up to $75,000 per passenger, regardless of whether the airline was at fault or not.
