More than 300,000 UK motorists drive in Europe and further afield each year on holidays, trips or business. Unfortunately, a large number of them are involved in car accidents or other types of collisions and are injured as a result. Before 2008 most claims had to be pursued in the country where the accident happened – not now! Because of recent developments, many more road traffic accident claims can be brought in the UK courts, even if the accident happened abroad.

We have dealt with a wealth of road traffic accident claims abroad including:

• Car crashes and collisions
• Motorbike and scooter accidents
• Accidents and injuries suffered in taxis, buses and coaches on holiday abroad
• Pedestrians hit by vehicles

There can be many factors that contribute to an accident and when you are abroad the language barrier can confuse things after the event. We can get to the bottom of the problem quickly and efficiently and advise you if you have a claim for compensation.

We may be able to help you if you have been involved in a road traffic accident abroad. The law in this area is quite complex and is developing quickly. We are at the forefront of those developments and can advise you of your options.

Even if you can claim for compensation through the UK courts you may still have to rely on the rules of the road where the accident happened. Our experience of dealing with road traffic accident claims across the world has given us an extensive knowledge of the local laws and regulations. This knowledge could prove vital to the success of your claim.

There are some jurisdictions, such as France where the laws tend to favour claimants and this makes claiming compensation much simpler. We can apply these laws to your advantage.
