PI Claims Pursued Abroad

Personal Injury claims pursued abroad vary greatly from those pursued in the UK. More often than not, the costs are not recoverable abroad; this means that claims can become uneconomic very quickly. If a claim has prospects and it is economic, it is important to use a reliable lawyer. We have agents in the vast majority of countries visited by UK travellers. They are tried and tested and understand the policyholder’s needs.

For our part, we know that invariably the levels of damages abroad (save for a few exceptions) are lower than in the UK, claims take longer and liability is often hard to prove. It is important that policyholders have their expectations managed from the outset of a claim to account for this. Our informative yet personable approach ensures that we do this.

PI Claims Pursued in the UK

Even claims that can be pursued in the UK need knowledge and specialist skills. We have these too!  Basic Package Holiday claims have their difficulties and our experience enables us to identify them and address them from the outset where less experienced practitioners may fail to identify the issues, which can often be time sensitive.

More complex claims arising from conventions or tortious duties abroad also need specialist skills and despite grounding jurisdiction in the UK there are many complex issue such as the applicable laws that apply. Our experience allows us to foresee the issues and deal appropriately.

Our experience shows that policyholders appreciate being kept up to date and the issues being clarified in terms they are able to understand. Our “plain English” approach ensures we do this.
