Travelling abroad doesn’t come without risks, and injury and illness can, tragically, occur. Whether you’re travelling for work or a holiday, you may find that your plans are drastically changed through becoming ill or injured.
Our personal injury solicitors could help you make a holiday accident compensation claim, or to claim if you were injured or became ill while working abroad. Our lawyers have helped thousands to claim compensation following illness or accidents abroad in a wide range of circumstances.
Most of the international personal injury claims we handle are made in England & Wales. But in some cases, it may be beneficial to make your claim abroad. We can advise you on this in a free initial consultation about making a claim.
Contact us today to arrange an initial chat with our solicitors. There's no obligation to continue with us after this conversation – you're free to just ask us for our advice on whether you can make a claim.
