No Win-No Fee And Absolutely No Hidden Costs

Bott and Co take on all the financial risk for you, so in the highly unlikely event we don’t win your case, you don’t pay us a thing.

Our pricing is displayed as a flat fee, so you can see from the outset how much will be deducted from your compensation to cover our costs, if your claim is successful. If your case requires us to issue court proceedings on your behalf, there will be an increase in administrative fees to cover some of the extra work involved in doing this. All relevant costs associated with your claim are clearly stated in your T&Cs.

If we can’t recover your compensation, you pay nothing, meaning no financial risk to you whatsoever, even if your case goes to court.

We will take care of everything else for you, so you can sit, back, relax and wait for your compensation to come to you.

Bott and Co recovers €60,000 compensation for Virgin Atlantic flight delay

We recovered flight delay compensation for 100 passengers when they suffered a delay of over 26 hours on a Virgin Atlantic flight from Orlando to Gatwick.

Flight delay compensation Regulation EC 261/2004 says that airlines must provide delayed passengers with hotel accommodation where necessary. Virgin did provide the passengers with a hotel for the night, but refused to pay flight delay compensation to them when they asked for it at a later date.

100 of the passengers grouped together and came to Bott and Co for help, and we went on to secure them €60,000 flight delay compensation.

Couple’s Christmas ruined by Virgin Atlantic flight cancellation

A husband and wife missed Christmas with their family when their Christmas Eve flight from South Africa to London was cancelled. Virgin didn’t provide the couple with an alternative flight home until 30th December.

Despite the couple being delayed for six days, when they wrote to Virgin asking for compensation, the airline told them they weren’t entitled to anything because the cancellation had been caused by extraordinary circumstances.

The couple came to Bott and Co and we were able to recover €600 per passenger to help make up for their Christmas being spoiled.

Families receive flight compensation for delay caused by third party damage

We took Virgin to court when they refused to pay two families flight delay compensation for a 24 hour delay. The airline refused to pay the passengers compensation for the flight delay, which was caused by a serving vehicle colliding with the stationary aircraft.

Virgin told the passengers that the incident was an extraordinary circumstance and continued to argue this when we contacted them. We took the case to court and the judge agreed with us, awarding the passengers €600 each.
