Author: People who have been involved in accidents while they have been on holiday in another country may be wondering if it is possible to pursue personal injuries claims for these incidents. The process may take longer, due to the differences in regulations between the UK and other countries, but there is no reason you should not make a claim if your case is genuine.
If you are on a package holiday and the accident occurred as a result of negligence on the part of the holiday company, then you will be able to claim against the holiday company. All the details of the incident should be recorded carefully to ensure that the claim can be dealt with properly and to ensure that there is little chance of the case losing due to inadequate records. When an incident occurs abroad it is also useful to have witnesses who can corroborate your version of events.
Car accidents and similar incidents occurring abroad may take longer to finalise as the no win no fee personal injury law firms will have to deal with foreign insurance firms and solicitors in order to resolve the claim. As with all personal injury claims, it is a good idea to consult with a specialist lawyer from a no win no fee legal firm to ensure that you have a strong case.
They will be able to advise you on each step that needs to be taken for your claim. Initial consultations are usually free of charge and the advisors will take you through all the details of the incident to assess the next steps that need to be taken.
