An Australian law firm is warning passengers injured in the LATAM Airlines flight from Sydney last month not to accept compensation offers from the company, reportedly ranging from more than $2,000 to over $7,500. Flight LA 800 experienced a sudden drop in altitude on route to Auckland on the 11th of March, injuring around 50 passengers. Carter Capner Law, which is representing some passengers, has described the offer as relatively small.
