Road Traffic Accident Abroad Claims

Can I Make a Road Traffic Accident Claim?

It’s important to contact our expert claims team as soon as possible.

We will give you a free initial consultation where we let you know if you’re likely to have a successful claim, and how much compensation you might get.

Insurance companies in the UK will often try to settle insurance claims directly, which can mean you get less compensation than you’re entitled to. When dealing with accidents abroad the language barriers and local customs and driving laws (or lack of) can frustrate the claim process so it is important to consult a legal expert quickly.

However, our expert claims team will be on hand to offer you the guidance and support you need.

How to Make a Claim

When you get in touch with us about your accident injuries you have sustained whilst abroad, we will guide you through the whole process of making a claim and support you at every stage.

The process starts with gathering evidence of the accident and you can help us by providing us with as much information as possible about the event and the injuries you sustained.

To evaluate your claim we will need to know:

• Where and when the accident or incident occurred?
• If there were any witnesses?
• What injuries you sustained?
• Whether you require ongoing treatment or rehabilitation?

Your claim specialist will use this information to fully understand the circumstances of your injury and establish that you have a claim.

We will also:

• Evaluate the circumstances surrounding the accident.
• Arrange medical treatment if you haven’t already received it.
• Assess your loss of earnings through having time off work.

The first step is to get in touch with us so that one of our claim experts can conduct a free, no-obligation consultation with you.

What happens when I make a claim?

When you contact us, you’ll speak to one of our legally trained advisors, who will be able to tell you within minutes whether you have a valid claim or not.

If you do wish to proceed with a claim, we will then put you in touch with a specialist solicitor who is an expert in your type of claim.

Your solicitor will keep in close contact with you throughout your claim and they will be able to explain the process and answer any questions you may have.

We know that making a claim can seem daunting, but our solicitors work very hard to ensure that your claim is dealt with diligently and efficiently.

How much will my claim be worth?

As with most other personal injury claims there is no set rule for how much compensation you might receive for an injury abroad, whilst staying at a hotel or holiday resort.

The amount of settlement will depend on the extent of your injuries, how it has impacted your life and how much time a full recovery will take.

However, in addition to damages for any injury, pain and suffering, you may also be able to claim for any loss of earnings as well as for the cost of any medical treatment or rehabilitation that may be required.

Our personal injury solicitors are very experienced in this area, and will aim to get you the maximum compensation available for your injury.
