Accident to Foreign Nationals in the UK

free legal advice and information on personal injury, medical negligence and accident claims in the UK

If you live outside the UK, but have been injured whilst on holiday here, or whilst working, or simply visiting the UK, then you may have a valid claim for any injuries that you have suffered, and any consequential loss.

The basis on which the law works here in the UK is that you have to establish that someone or something was, at least in part, responsible for the injuries that you have suffered. If this can be established then you are entitled to compensation, and it is then a question of working out what you are entitled to claim for.

If you were injured whilst in England or Wales then your potential claim is almost certainly covered by the law of England and Wales and would have to be conducted under the English legal system.

We have specialist personal injury solicitors on our panel who are willing to advise you whether it is worth pursuing your claim, and can then explain the procedure and possible funding options open to you. In the UK we have the option of funding cases on a No Win No Fee system (more properly called a conditional fee agreement), whereby a solicitor can take on your case and will only get paid his fee, plus a percentage mark-up if you are successful in your claim.

If you would like to know if it is even worthwhile your considering bringing a claim, then simply complete the form below for a free, without obligation, assessment of your chances.
