Claim involving a Air Canada and the treaty concerning injury during boarding/disembarking.

The Warsaw Convention, as amended by the 1999 Montreal Protocal is the treaty. It is an international convention which regulates liability for international air transport of persons, luggage or goods performed by aircraft. The United States is a signator of the Warsaw Convention.

The Convention is a very specific set of rules that are strictly enforced. You will need a lawyer to discuss the particulars.

As regards where litigation may be brought, if you bought your ticket for air travel passage in Maryland, you have an excellent chance to bring your lawsuit against Air Canada in Maryland. But, the Warsaw Convention may make bringing a lawsuit against Air Canada a matter for close scrutiny by your lawyer.
