Serious injury claims from accidents abroad
Boyes Turner’s serious injury lawyers secure compensation for clients with catastrophic or severe injury caused by accidents whilst working, studying, travelling or on holiday abroad.
Our clients have experienced life-changing accidents which have left them with lasting disability from brain injury, spinal cord damage (SCI), amputation, severe physical and psychological injury. We help them secure the treatment and rehabilitation that they need to make the best possible recovery. We obtain interim payments to ease financial hardship and compensation settlements which meet their future needs, whilst providing professional and practical support every step of the way.
Severe injuries are always life-changing but when they are caused by accidents which happened abroad, getting help becomes even more challenging. In the same way, differences in language, time limits, laws, and local processes for making a claim adds another layer of complexity to an already specialist area of the law.
The country (or US state) where the accident took place can make a difference to:
- the injured person’s right to make a claim for compensation;
- deadline or time limit for making a claim;
- which country’s legal system (or jurisdiction) governs the claim, and where the claim can be brought;
- the procedures which must be followed;
- the evidence that is used in the claim;
- the amount of compensation that the injured person may receive.
Compensation claims arising from foreign accidents which caused severe and catastrophic injury to the brain or spinal cord, amputation or major trauma, must be handled by specialist solicitors. We are experienced in securing rehabilitation and recovering high value compensation settlements for clients who have suffered severe injury whilst working, travelling or on holiday abroad.
