News For Travellers If You Suffer An Injury In Europe
A recent decision by the European Parliament should mean good news for travellers who suffer injuries in Europe.
Up until this ruling, travellers seeking compensation could find themselves time-barred from making a claim without even realising it. The standard 3 year compensation claims limitation in the UK does not apply elsewhere.
The decision is the first step towards all EU member states harmonising the limitation period for personal injury compensation claims to 4 years. The move was the result of successful lobbying by an MEP and PEOPIL (Pan European Organisation of Personal Injury Lawyers).
