If you have suffered an accident abroad and someone else was to blame you may be able to make a personal injury compensation claim. Our team of no win, no fee solicitors at claimssolicitors.co.uk have a wide range of experience in dealing with claims that can arise out of accidents abroad.

Typical claims include:

• Food poisoning due to poor hygiene standards
• Accidents whilst taking part in sport activities, including water sports
• Accidents in or around swimming pools
• Transport accidents

To make a claim regarding an accident abroad you will need the help of a specialist solicitor. Different rules apply in different countries, especially in relation to time limits. In some countries the limit for making a claim can be as low as 12 months.

If you were travelling on a package holiday then UK regulations apply and you may be able to make a claim against the travel company.

If you were an independent or business traveller we can still help with claims regarding accidents abroad. In particular our membership of PEOPIL (Pan European Organisation of Personal Injury Lawyers) means that we have a network of experts in European countries. Recent EU legislation means that for EU and certain other non-EU European countries some of the rules have been harmonised.

Holiday Accident claims are a highly specialist area of personal injury law and if you need to talk to an accidents abroad solicitor contact us now on FREEPHONE 0800 731 7923 or you can fill in the claim form or e-mail us using ku.oc.sroticilossmialc@smialc

Accidents on Holiday Case Study

Mr and Mrs L and their family became ill from a defective water supply whilst on holiday abroad. They grouped together with the other holidaymakers to claim compensation from their UK tour operator. Unfortunately this "Group Action" failed due to mistakes by their chosen legal advisors. After coming to our firm for help we were able not only to secure a settlement for the whole family but one which was considerably greater than the original claim that their former solicitors had put forward.
