Accidents Abroad
Thousands of Britons travel overseas every year. While most trips occur without incident, you may have cause to make a holiday accident claim.
Accident situations vary and you may be struggling to work out what you need to do. Our solicitors will guide you through the process every step of the way, giving you the best chance of claiming compensation for illness or injury sustained overseas.
For instance, if you suffer an injury on holiday, you might be entitled to make a claim against the holiday company if your trip was arranged as part of a package deal.
If you’re involved in a road traffic accident abroad it may be possible to pursue damages against the offending driver in the UK, thanks to various European treaties.
Claims for accidents while working abroad
If you are involved in an accident while working abroad it might be possible to bring a claim for damages in the UK if the company you work for is based here.
Types of Holiday Accident Claims
Examples of accident abroad claims:
- Road traffic accidents involving foreign drivers
- Food poisoning while on holiday or travelling
- Slip by the side of a pool
- Accident involving a water sport while abroad
- Deaths while abroad.
