Having an accident abroad can be an extremely stressful. An accident is always an upsetting event but when you are abroad, you also have to contend with being far away from home and your loved ones, the expense of medical treatment and possibly a language barrier. You may not even feel up to considering compensation for your injuries until you get settled back home.
Our Bristol personal injuries lawyers understand how traumatic an accident abroad can be and are dedicated to getting you any compensation you may be entitled to. Our claims process is quick, with minimal fuss or stress – so you can put your energy into recovering!
Compensation for Accidents Outside the United Kingdom
The type of compensation that you are entitled to will depend on several factors, which our team of lawyers in Bristol will discuss with you. For example, if you were abroad for work reasons, and your employer knowingly put you in an unsafe situation, the claim may be carried out in the same way, as our lawyers would pursue compensation if you had had an accident in your office here in Bristol. In our experience, some employers do not realise that their responsibility for your safety does not end the minute you get on a plane; if you are acting on their behalf, they have a legal obligation to keep you safe while you work.
If you were involved in a road accident on holiday, you will usually have had to seek medical attention straight away in order for our lawyers here in Bristol to be able to seek compensation. Give us a call today, and we can go through all the details with you, including any evidence you may have collected. This is an important part of any personal injury claim. Keep any medical documentation from the hospital, along with photos of your injuries and names and addresses of individuals who were involved. It’s also a good idea to keep a record of any expenses you have incurred due to your accident- additional travel expenses or medicine for example. All of this will help our dedicated team of Bristol personal injury solicitors** to determine the likelihood of your compensation claim being successful.
