Article Source: FeedNigeria
Owners of Dana Airlines have assured the 40 families of the victims of
Dana plane crash that they will give out statutory compensation to
those properly entitled at the earliest opportunity.
Dana Group's Head of Corporate Communications, Mr. Tony Usidamen , in
a statement entitled"Dana Air Press Statement on Payment of Insurance
Benefits to Families" said they should be patient.
The statement reads in part: "The present position is that 80 advance
payments of US$30,000 have been processed by virtue of documentation
supplied demonstrating familial links and kinship; our insurers are
continuing to deal with all other claims in accordance with the
applicable law."
He said: "To date, Letters of Administration have been produced by
only a small number of claimants. However, there's need to be verified
by the ProbateOffice who issued them. This is customary procedure and
an important requirement in order to ensure that just compensation is
only paid to those who have entitlement."
He added that: "Dana Air has no control over the speed with which the
Probate Office deals with the verification process, although maximum
pressure is being exerted to expedite this. Subject to verification,
full compensation will be paid to those properly entitled in
accordance with the law and available evidence at the earliest
opportunity."
