Making a claim yourself

Why you shouldn’t make your own claim 

Flight problems - Why you shouldn't make your own claim
  • Free – No cost risk, but;…..
  • Paperwork with the airline
  • Experience – often non-existent
  • Low success rate
  • Time-consuming and stressful – stress factor high
  • Lack of legal knowledge: You have to learn the basics of the law
  • They have to deal with complicated processes of the airlines themselves
  • You’ve wasted your time if you lose

If you are affected by flight problems, it may seem tempting at first to assert your compensation claims against the airline yourself. After all, at first glance, this seems like a free option without you taking any financial risk. But what many travelers don’t consider is the enormous effort and complexity that comes with such a demand. The process can quickly turn into a lengthy paperwork with the airline that requires a lot of time, nerves and patience.

A major problem with self-advocacy is the lack of experience in dealing with the often complicated and opaque processes of the airlines. The airlines are practiced in fending off claims and use every conceivable opportunity to reject or delay compensation claims. Without the necessary expertise and experience, it is extremely difficult for individuals to stand up to these tactics. You also have to familiarize yourself with the legal basics and deal with the legal intricacies of air passenger rights – a tedious and often frustrating process.

The consequence of this high effort is often a low success rate. Many self-claims fail because important details are overlooked or because the legal arguments are not presented convincingly enough. If you do not succeed, you have not only wasted your time and energy, but you may also have missed valuable opportunities for fair compensation. This uncertainty and the risk of ending up empty-handed deter many people.

Flightright offers you a professional and worry-free alternative. Our experienced team of legal experts will take care of the entire process for you – from assessing your chances of success to communicating with the airline and enforcing your claims in court, if necessary. You benefit from our many years of experience and a success rate of 99% without having to take on any risks or stress yourself. So you can sit back and relax while we fight for your rights and make sure you get the compensation you deserve.

Why you shouldn’t hire a lawyer 

flight problems - Why you should not hire a lawyer
  • Takes care of the claim on your behalf
  • Experience unclear: Most lawyers do not specialize in air passenger rights
  • High stress factor: Time-consuming and stressful
  • Unclear prospects of success
  • Must calculate costs: lawyer fees, court costs
  • Uneconomical as an individual case
  • Associated with costs: You also have to pay the fees if you lose

When it comes to enforcing your air passenger rights, you are often faced with the choice of whether you should hire a lawyer or use the services of passenger portals such as Flightright. While a lawyer may be able to help you with legal issues, hiring a lawyer often involves significant costs. These costs are usually incurred regardless of the outcome of the proceedings and can quickly represent a financial burden. In addition, hiring a lawyer is often uneconomical for individual cases, as the expected compensation does not always justify the lawyer’s fees.

Another important point that speaks in favor of Flightright is the often unclear prospects of success when hiring a lawyer. Without specific experience in the field of air passenger rights, it can be difficult to realistically assess the chances of success of a claim. At Flightright, on the other hand, you benefit from our many years of expertise and an impressive success rate of 99%. We carefully analyze each case and use our extensive database to accurately assess your chances of success. For you, this means: No risk and no hidden costs, as you only pay a commission in the event of success.

In addition, hiring a lawyer often also means a high stress factor. You will have to take care of communicating with the airline, submitting the necessary documents, and meeting deadlines. At Flightright, on the other hand, we take care of the entire process for you – from filing a claim to enforcing it in court, if necessary. This not only saves you time and nerves, but also ensures that your claim is in the best hands. Flightright offers you a stress-free, transparent and reliable alternative to the classic legal process.
