DOMMAGE SURVENU
dommage survenu (daw-mazh suur-v<<schwa>>-noo). [French] Damage sustained. • This is
from article 17 of the Warsaw Convention providing for compensatory damages, rather than
awards for loss of society or punitive damages, for bodily injury that a passenger suffers while
onboard an aircraft, or while boarding or disembarking. [Cases: Carriers 307, 319. C.J.S.
Aeronautics and Aerospace §§ 265, 267; Carriers §§ 573, 587.] [Blacks Law 8th]
