FAQs
Will the country where my employer is based affect my claim?
While the country where your employer is based may affect how we approach and pursue your claim, it may not have any impact on your ability to bring a claim or the compensation amount you’re entitled to.
For accidents that occur in England and Wales, you normally have three years from the date of the accident to bring a compensation claim against your employer.
However, this will not be the case if your accident took place outside of England and Wales where English law does not apply. Some countries have much shorter time periods, some as short as 6-12 months from the date of the accident.
Our solicitors can advise on the process of making an accident at work abroad claim. We work with a network of lawyers and foreign experts in countries throughout the world, so you can expect professional legal representation regardless of the circumstances of your accident or where it happened.
How much compensation can I expect to receive?
If we accept your case, our injury abroad litigation specialists will work closely with you to establish the circumstances of your workplace accident and the resulting injuries you have suffered. This will help us to calculate an appropriate amount of compensation that reflects your injuries and losses.
In calculating a fair compensation sum, we’ll assess the following:
- The severity of your physical injuries — corroborated by an independent medical expert.
- Psychological trauma you’ve suffered after the accident.
- Your loss of earnings through taking time off work following the accident.
- Your ongoing care and medical support requirements.
- Mobility aids and home improvements you now require as a result of your injuries.
- Other financial losses you’ve incurred in the wake of the accident, including overseas medical expenses and travel costs.
We will help to secure the maximum amount of compensation for the injuries and losses you’ve suffered and, where necessary, work with experienced foreign law experts to bring a strong case against those responsible for your accident.
