No.

Whenever DOT regulations applies, DOT has specified that airlines can't reject this kind of claims. Airlines have been fined previously because of that.

Also, the Montreal Convention does not explicit exclude this kind of damage.

So it is more like the airlines' CYA policy rather than truth.
