What the experts say about us

Leading the market in terms of exposure, profile and ability... having cornered the market in claims against tour operators and foreign domiciled defendants for accident and group action illness claims arising abroad... the firm is championed by many as the self-styled people's friend.

Workplace accidents

Experience

We have extensive experience acting for clients who have been injured whilst working abroad.

Basis of claim

A claim may be made against your employer (depending upon your contract of employment) following an accident at your workplace if they had sufficient control over that workplace to be found at fault. If this cannot be shown, you may still have a claim against the owners of the premises where you worked.

Where can you bring your claim

You may have a choice of where to bring your claim. It is very important that you choose the most appropriate one for you as it could make a significant difference to the amount of compensation you could recover and whether you can recover any legal costs. We can advise you on this.

Time limit

NOTE!! Time limits in which your claim can be brought can vary throughout the world. It is therefore important that you contact us as soon as possible for advice. Remember, we offer a FREE initial consultation.

Successful cases

We have been involved with many successful cases over the years. Here are just a couple of examples (click on the link to read more):

When I tried to deal with the tour operator myself, I got nowhere and I almost lost heart. Without the help of Irwin Mitchell’s travel team, I would have given up.
