Some of the close relatives of those killed in the Germanwings plane crash in March have rejected the carrier's offer of EUR€25,000 (USD$27,100) in compensation payments for their pain and suffering.
A lawyer representing some of the German victims, Elmar Giemulla, said he had notified Germanwings earlier this week in a letter that the offer was inadequate. He added a low six-digit amount would be adequate compensation.
Germanwings, a Lufthansa unit, was not immediately available to comment outside usual business hours.
The EUR€25,000 offer is on top of EUR€50,000 already paid as immediate financial assistance to relatives. German law does not usually provide for a separate award for pain and suffering, unlike in the United States.
The proposed payout for emotional distress would be made to parents, widowed spouses, partners and children of the victims and does not require proof of damages incurred to be presented in order for it to be made, Germanwings said in June.
Relatives living in Germany may also claim an additional EUR€10,000 each as compensation for any health problems without needing to offer formal proof, the company said.
Families of the victims still have the right to make further claims for other financial costs, such as burial costs or lost pensions, although this will require proof of damages incurred.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.
Wonderful event and topics discussed, hopefully we see the manifestations in our African airline businesses in the nearest future. Kudos to you all.
