Join aviation attorney Erin Applebaum for a discussion on how to litigate passenger personal injury claims arising on international flights. The program will provide a comprehensive overview of the Montreal Convention, the multinational treaty governing international air travel, with a particular focus on Article 17 accidents. We will review filing deadlines, jurisdictional hurdles, and potential limitations of airline liability. The course will conclude with a discussion of best practices to resolve cases efficiently and avoid major malpractice traps.
