Accident and Illness Abroad

If you have suffered an accident on holiday or illness abroad, you could make a holiday claim for compensation with the help of My Accident Solicitor, and our Personal Injury claims team.

Many thousands of UK citizens travel abroad on holiday or business every year and it's easy to forget that health and safety standards in foreign countries may not be the same as they are in the UK, so the likelihood of suffering an accident abroad can be quite high.

For a number of reasons (such as language barrier), the consequences of an accident abroad can often be more traumatic than if your accident happened in the UK. However, it's important that you don't put off claiming compensation for an accident abroad.

If you've been involved in an accident abroad (including on trains, boat or plane) and have suffered an injury, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

My Accident Solicitor specialise in various types of accident compensation claims, including accidents abroad.

Illness Abroad

If you have suffered illness abroad, we may be able to help you claim compensation either against your tour operator or against your hotel or any other party that has caused your illness.

How long to claim?

In the UK, Court proceedings for illness claims must usually start within 3 years of the date your illness abroad. Court Proceedings for non-illness claims (e.g. quality complaints only) must usually be commenced within 6 years of the start of the holiday but, in some cases, this period may be shorter depending on the country.
