Only 70k for the death of her daughter and husband? Is that normal ?? Seems crazy low to me.

That’s nearly 10 times the median income in India for 2 people. Not saying it’s fair but it would be like a £700k payout for if it was in the UK.

I'm assuming it's in the UK though? The flight was headed to London and the article is from the Sun, so the woman most likely lives in the UK?

Well compensation is paid based on international rules or domestic laws whichever is higher. So this one is the international standard

The flight being headed to London is reason enough for the Sun to report on it, there’s not much information about the mother either way

Well, what is £70k in Indian money? How many loaves of bread can be bought in India for the price of one in England?

Okay but were their ticket prices also in Indian money? Because if they weren't, then they should pay recompensation in international money like everyone else.

Can certainly agree with that.

> One clause states: “The payment of the Settlement Sum constitutes a full, final, and complete release and discharge of all rights, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action against the Indemnified.” Yes Sun, that’s a standard release.

This is why I don't trust the Sun.

Oh, true, but I always feel like they are amongst the worst in this regard.

That's the point of offering settlements, to preclude the person from filing any other claims against the party they're settling with.

Next time, please have the foresight to attend least link to a news platform that has credible and respectable journalism.

TL:DR summary - no “silence” bullshit. Standard legal stuff - take your compensation and sign a document saying you can’t sue for any more money after that.

Slash787@reddit

How much was the compensation?

Anyone with any sense of decency will NEVER open a link to The Sun newspaper. There is a reason why that scum rag is basically banned in parts of Liverpool and Manchester. They should never EVER be linked to when talking about things like this

Banned in all of Liverpool, sorry mate 👍 But appreciate you bringing this to people's attention! Source: resident Scouser of 45 years. But yeh noone should be giving that rag the time of day.

Yeah I meant to say parts of Manchester. After the MEN arena bombing, a lot of us Mancs didn't take too kindly to The Scum taking pot shots at the Muslim communities of the city. Fuck Murdoch!

I'd take the cash and run my mouth off

Depending on the legal agreement they can sue you and then you don’t have the cash.
