I guess that’s why where the incident or accident takes place can be of major importance and not only for the pilot’s. An airline definitely would not like to have to settle a liability case in the US as opposed to other parts of the world. There is a Warsaw Convention limitation on the back of all IATA approved tickets which is supposed to be limiting but one would have to be a lawyer to figure it out.

Again to clarify;
The 3 insurances Hull, Passenger Liability and Third Party Liability are completely separate and only Passenger Liability is subject to Warsaw Convention and does not touch or affect the other 2
Added;
Just FYI there is absolutely no requirement from ICAO or any CAA that I am aware of to have hull insurance - its yr plane if u crash it you lose (hence the lessors/financiers require it), you are however required to have third party liability insurance i.a.w. limits set by local authorities, ICAO and certain airports have their own targets and also passenger liability i.a.w. with Warsaw Convention and local regulations
The 3 different insurances serve different functions and different masters

Aviation is a small world..
"When Swissair was operating the Convair CV-440 Metropolitan the normal crew complement was two cockpit and two cabin staff.
When three cabin staff were carried there was a seat belt fitted in one of the toilets for use during take-off and landing reports Mike Finlay from Norfolk.
Let’s hope that Ryanair flight attendants read ABTN (see above."
