Injuries in the aviation sector are covered by different laws to those in every day life.

Timelines are very important and you should make enquiries without delay as once a critical date is passed there may be no avenue for compensation.
We appear in all Courts and Tribunals across Australia. Recent actions by CASA and the DPP have seen criminal charges pursued in relation to pilot actions.
