Call Irwin Mitchell Solicitors now on 0870 024 0560 or complete the claim form to register your claim.

One of our trained staff will call you back as soon as possible for a free initial consultation to discuss your case in more detail and advise you further. If you have a case, we assign our best staff with the expertise to handle your claim.

We will investigate and build evidence to back up your case. We may in some cases obtain the opinion of a lawyer practicing in the country where your accident occurred for further advice.

Once we have all the relevant information, we will send a letter of claim to the Defendant and then correspond with their representatives. We will keep in touch with you throughout, so you’re always informed.

Finally, with your approval, we arrive at the best compensation settlement possible.

Other Injury, Accidents

 

You may have had an accident abroad which does not fit into the other categories of cases mentioned in this website.

Experience

We also have significant experience of acting for the victims of accidents abroad such as:-

1. Workplace accidents. More>

2. Sporting accidents e.g. skiing accidents. More>

3. Assaults.

4. Trips or fall in a public place or building.

5. Clinical Negligence.

If you have been injured in an accident not in any of the above categories, you may still have a claim. For further advice about the possibility of bringing a claim contact us now.

Basis of claim

In many cases it will be necessary to prove that someone, some institution or company was at fault and that their fault caused your injury. However, this is not always necessary as in some circumstances; “No fault” laws apply that mean an accident victim is entitled to compensation as of right.

Where you can bring your claim

You may be able to bring your claim in the U.K. If not, your claim may have to be brought in the country where your accident occurred. We will provide the best advice as to how to proceed and we will be able to act for you whether your case proceeds in the U.K. or abroad.
