Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
Holidays are an important time for many - a time to rest, recuperate and enjoy yourself. Unfortunately, assaults and attacks abroad occur quite frequently and can result in serious distress, injury or even death. As in the UK, there are a number of parties who may be held partially or entirely liable for any distress or injury you have suffered whilst overseas.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your assault or hijacking abroad claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to an assault or hijacking attack and we know what positive action to take to make a difference.
Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.
Handling Assault Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity
If you have been the victim of a criminal assault, rape or hijacking whilst on holiday abroad, then you may be able to claim compensation. In many cases, it may be possible to bring such a claim in the UK against your tour operator; such as in those circumstances where an incident occurred during your package holiday, saving the inconvenience of making your claim abroad. Our team of expert lawyers will be able to advise you as to where you can bring your claim depending on the circumstances of what happened to you and where it occurred.
Irwin Mitchell can help you make an claim to compensate you for your injuries as well as any costs that you may have incurred and any mental distress that may have been caused due to an assault or hijacking abroad.
Irwin Mitchell can also help you with a claim even if you did not have any sufficient travel insurance at the time of the attack. In some cases, claims may be made abroad against:
- The assailant
- The relevant government fund
- A party who has failed to take adequate steps to ensure your safety, for example, a Tour Operator
In a successful assault or hijacking compensation claim, damages can be substantial, and we have successfully recovered considerable sums of compensation in many assault and hijacking cases around the world dependent upon the legal jurisdiction in those countries.
