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.

Car Accidents Abroad

Experience

We have unrivalled experience in acting for clients injured in road traffic accidents all around the world. We have successfully recovered compensation for hundreds of clients, several of whom have won record damages. Many claims can be pursued in you home country.

If it is not possible to bring your claim in your home country, we have several foreign and dual qualified lawyers who are able to advise you and negotiate with foreign insurers on your behalf.

Basis of claim

If you have been involved in a road traffic accident abroad, whether as a passenger, driver, or pedestrian, then you may be able to claim compensation. In most cases, a driver’s fault must be proved. However, in some countries, such as France passengers, pedestrians and cyclists may have an automatic right to claim compensation for a road traffic accident, even if nobody is at fault.

Successful cases

We have been involved with many successful cases over the years recovering millions of pounds in compensation. Here are a few 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.
