About claiming for holiday injuries or illness
Many of the claims we see are for short-term gastric illnesses or food poisoning caused by food, water or poor sanitation abroad, or for minor injuries sustained in car accidents, abroad and at home, such as whiplash. We also deal with fatal cases and more severe injuries and illness that will leave people in discomfort or disabled long after their holiday. In all cases we seek the maximum amount of compensation available, taking into account the immediate and long term implications.
In cases where you are required to pursue your overseas accident claim from the country where it occurred, we’ll appoint a local solicitor to handle your case and represent your best interests, keeping disruption to you to a minimum.
