Accidents & illness abroad compensation claims explained
Do I have to bring a claim abroad?
Just because an accident or illness occurred abroad, you do not always have to make a claim in that country. In many cases, there will be a choice as to which country to make your claim in.

For example, there may be a choice between making a claim in England, in the country where the accident or illness occurred, or in the country where the Defendant is based.
In this way it is often possible to bring a claim in England if you have been injured or suffered illness whilst on holiday or working abroad.
Legal rules and levels of compensation vary from country to country, and so where there is a choice, each relevant jurisdiction must be carefully considered to ensure that the case is pursued where it is most beneficial for you.
