Accidents & illness abroad solicitors

Holiday illness / accident compensation claim

Having worked, saved and looked forward to your holiday for months, the last thing you wanted during your time away was to suffer an accident or illness. If you have experienced an illness or injury abroad, you may be able to claim compensation.

Due to the interpretation of international laws, together with the distance from the evidence, these can be complex claims to win. You will therefore need a specialist, so contact our experienced team of personal injury solicitors at Hodge Jones & Allen in London NW1 on 0800 437 0080 today.

Accident abroad legal advice

Often, your holiday insurance company will be able to resolve your issue satisfactorily. In other cases, however, if you want compensation for your pain and suffering and loss of earnings, you will need to find a solicitor with the necessary experience to pursue a case for your incident.
At Hodge Jones & Allen, we have the expertise in handling claims for injury and illness abroad. Many claims can be brought in an English court even though the event happened abroad. This may mean you won't need to instruct a foreign lawyer to act for you, or have the inconvenience and hassle of dealing with proceedings abroad. We can also offer funding solutions such as no win no fee which may not be available if proceedings are taken abroad.
