Explained in plain English
Who pays for flight incidents?
When a passenger is injured due to an airline's fault, like Ljubisa Karovic's experience, the airline is typically responsible for compensation. This covers medical costs, rebooking, and potentially other damages. International agreements like the Montreal Convention govern these liabilities, setting limits but also ensuring passengers have recourse.
