CLAIMS RESTRICTIONS
CLAIMS RESTRICTIONS, INCLUDING TIME PERIODS IN WHICH PASSENGERS MUST FILE A CLAIM OR BRING ACTION AGAINST THE AIR CARRIER
Section 1. – Claims for damaged or delayed baggage must be submitted before leaving the airport after arrival. Notice may be provided within 24 hours of arrival if claimant established he/she was unable to give notice at the airport for good cause. Good cause will be determined at the sole discretion of SEAir. No claim of personal injury or death of a passenger will be entertained by SEAir unless preliminary notice of the claim is presented to an office of the carrier within (4) hours after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. For claims involving international travel, written claims must be submitted within seven (7) days for the loss. Failure to give notice within these time limits will not bar the claim if the claimant establishes, to the satisfaction of the carrier, that he/she was unable, in whole or in part, to file such claim.
Section 2. – Any legal action premised on or related to the incident must be commenced within one (1) year of the date of incident. If notice is not provided as set forth above and legal action is not commenced within one year of the date of the incident, then SEAir disclaims any and all liability arising from or relating to such incident.
Section 3. – In the event of loss, damage or delay in delivery to checked baggage, written notice of any and all claims must be reported to SEAir in person within four (4) hours of passenger’s arrival destination.
