A road traffic accident can be a traumatic and life-changing experience wherever in the world it takes place. If you've been involved in a road traffic accident (RTA) while abroad for work or leisure, our lawyers could help you claim compensation.
When an accident happens overseas, it can be hard to know what to do. The rules around claiming compensation can be different from country to country, and language barriers can make navigating these local laws difficult.
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.
Different jurisdictions have different laws and time limits for claiming compensation. In some cases, we might advise you to make your claim in Scotland, as the laws are slightly different, sometimes making it more advantageous for you.
Compensation claims in England, Wales, and Scotland are normally funded through a No Win No Fee agreement. This means that there's nothing to pay upfront, and that you won’t have to pay any legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful*.
We have the largest and most successful international personal injury department in the UK, and have successfully handled thousands of road traffic accident abroad claims, winning record levels of compensation for a number of our clients.
