Accident, Injury & Illness Abroad Claims

Can I Claim for Accident, Injury or Illness Abroad?

Accidents and illness don’t just happen when you’re at home. If you are injured abroad or fall ill when travelling due to the negligence of others then you could be entitled to claim compensation.

Accident and illnesses sustained out of the country can be stressful and present many complications, not least arranging medical attention in an unfamiliar country.

Additionally, pursuing accident and illness claims for injury sustained whilst on holiday or travelling can also be more difficult than for similar types of claims pursued at home.

Typically your claim will be made in the country where your accident or illness took place and therefore it will be subject to the law of that country which may affect your rights or compensation amount.

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 or the illness 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 or illness 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 or illnesses 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 or illness
• 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 team of experts can conduct a free, no-obligation consultation with you.
