Accidents abroad

Holidays are a time for relaxation and enjoyment. Unfortunately accidents still happen - even when we’re on holiday - and each year many people suffer an accident or become ill whilst overseas.

Accidents abroad can take many forms from road traffic accidents and falls to food poisoning or sporting incidents. But just as in the UK, when the accident is caused by another person or organisation, you may be able to make a claim for compensation. Even though the accident occurred in another country, providing the holiday was booked in the UK, it’s usually possible to bring a claim here in the UK when you return.

At Smith Roddam Solicitors our experienced lawyers have a wealth of experience of dealing with accidents abroad and have successfully helped hundreds of people receive the compensation they deserve following an accident.

We offer free initial assessment so you can easily find out what your options are. With a same day response and no hidden costs promises, our process is simple and straightforward. Call us today 01388 881 611 to discuss your case with one of our expert personal injury solicitors.

Injury claims

Accidents happen. Unfortunately, due to another person’s negligence or failure to put appropriate safeguards in place, an innocent person can be hurt, injured, or worse. At Smith Roddam Solicitors, our experience helps innocent parties receive justice for a needless injury that should have been avoided.

Accidents abroad

Holidays are a time for relaxation and enjoyment. Unfortunately accidents still happen - even when we’re on holiday - and each year many people suffer an accident or become ill whilst overseas.

Animals causing injury

We may be a nation of animal lovers but unfortunately animals can be unpredictable and cause thousands of injuries each year. If you’ve been injured by an animal and its owner didn’t take reasonable precautions to protect you, then you may be able to make a claim for compensation.

Criminal injuries or assault

Being attacked or assaulted is an upsetting and distressing experience that often results in physical or psychological injuries. If you’ve been the target of an attack, our criminal injury specialists are here to offer the guidance and support you need. We can help you make a claim for compensation as well as providing practical help and legal advice.

Fatal injury claims

Smith Roddam Solicitors can advise you how to seek compensation when a fatal injury has been caused by the negligence of another person or company.

Faulty products

When we buy products, we put our trust in retailers and manufacturers that the products will work correctly and safely. Sometimes products fail to work as promised and, on rare occasions, defects can cause illness or injury.

Life-changing injuries

Seeking compensation for an injury that has life changing consequences is where Smith Roddam Solicitors can help. With some of the best lawyers in the UK we advise on how to make a claim.

Military injury claims

If you’ve been injured whilst serving in the Armed Forces it can be a distressing experience for you and your family. You may be worried about the impact that your injuries will have on your long-term health, career, and relationships. Whether you’re a member of the Army, the Naval Service or the Royal Air Force; the Ministry of Defence has a responsibility for your safety and wellbeing – just like any other employer.

Road traffic collisions

An accident whilst driving can have serious consequences. If another road user was careless, reckless or negligent, Smith Roddam Solicitors can help with any claim.

Slips and trips in public places

No matter how careful you are when out and about, accidents can happen and slips and trips are common. However, it may not always be your fault. If you have slipped or tripped because someone failed in their duty to keep you safe, you could be able to claim compensation.

Work place injuries and disease

Having an accident at work may show that your employer has failed to carry out their responsibilities properly. Smith Roddam Solicitors can help you with a claim if health and safety laws have not been followed.
