Jet2 compensation deal with Glasgow holidaymakers
Jet 2 has reached a six-figure compensation settlement with dozens of holiday makers hurt in a bus crash on Tenerife after their flight from Glasgow.
Some of the 33 passengers suffered broken bones and post traumtic stress after the accident in December 2017.
A truck carrying concrete pillars collided with the transfer bus taking them from the plane to the terminal.
Around 150 people were on the Jet2 flight which had just landed at Tenerife South after arriving from Glasgow.
Exact settlements were not disclosed but the sums are understood to range from £1,000 for soft tissue damage to £20,000 for more serious injuries.
Mark Gibson, Partner at Digby Brown said: “This was a very complex case due to the number of people affected as well as the need to liaise with foreign authorities.
“However we have a dedicated team who specialise in cases just like this and I can confirm all 33 cases are now concluded.
“Our clients should have been enjoying their holiday and instead they were left with either physical or mental scars.
“I only hope these people and families feel a sense of justice now the legal aspect of the incident is concluded.”
