A skier whose knee was injured after a drinks trolley hit him mid-flight forcing him to spend days in an airport hotel has been awarded damages.

Our client was travelling with British Airways when the onboard accident happened but despite leaving the plane in a wheelchair and then being advised to fly home for medical treatment the airline refused to amend his return ticket.

He then contacted Hudgell Solicitors travel litigation experts and was eventually awarded damages of £11,125.  The case settled without an admission of liability.

Hudgell Solicitors’ travel litigation executive Anne Thomson said, “Our client’s injury was caused by a heavily laden trolley hitting his knee and this type of incident is, unfortunately, not uncommon.”
