Why it's important to be prepared when abroad

Even when on holiday, accidents still happen and though any incidents that result in injury can be frightening, the impact can be much worse if it takes place in another country. The most common accidents that occur, are incidents that involve tripping or falling on an excursion with 36% of people that have hurt themselves whilst on holiday having injured themselves this way.

Should you be injured when on holiday, with our travel litigation experts, you can pursue an accident abroad claim which means you can claim for medical expenses, pain and suffering felt and any other financial losses that have occurred.

However, to make an accident abroad claim, certain requirements and eligibility must be met. Those include:

• A third party must have been negligent.
• Due to negligence, you have sustained injuries.
• There is strong evidence to back your claim.
