Accidents Abroad - Compensation Claims
Every year thousands of people are injured in accidents abroad. These accidents can happen to anyone while on business or on holiday. Many victims of others negligence while abroad are unclear of their legal right and often assume their legal action needs to be taken in the country that the accident happened or is linked to their travel insurance. This however is not the case and you can claim for the majority of accidents abroad through a Solicitor in the UK.
Accidents abroad which you can claim for include:
- Road Traffic Accidents; this includes accidents while on public transport, when in a hire car or if you are knocked down as a pedestrian. If a road traffic accident is caused by the negligence of a foreign driver then you may have a claim.
- Slips, Trips and Falls; this includes slips, trips and falls in supermarkets, restaurants and on roads and pavements. If an accident is caused by the foreign establishments failure to maintain their premises in a clean and dry way and also clear of hazards then you may have a claim.
- Sporting Activities Abroad; people often undertake these while on holiday be it water sports at the beach, a game of five a side football or even rock climbing. If an injury is caused by the negligence of the organiser or his/her failure to keep equipment in good working order then you may have a claim.
- Illness; the main cause of illness whilst abroad is food poisoning. If you have been food poisoned as a result of negligent cooking or unacceptable hygiene standards then you may have a claim.
- Medical Negligence; people often suffer unnecessary injury while being medically treated abroad at hospital or other medical providers. If a medical practitioner negligently administers treatment to you then you may have a claim
- Package Holiday Claims; tour operators and package holiday providers are obliged to the Package Travel Regulations which allow you to make a claim against the package holiday company and not the foreign Defendant.
