I had an incident with an airline on a long haul flight that put me in a life-threatening situation due to negligence. Damian helped me fight the airline for a settlement I was unable to get on my own. He was very thoughtful and responsive throughout the process. I would strongly recommend Gerard McDermott QC Ltd to anyone pursuing personal injury legal action due to an accident abroad
