It is now possible to claim compensation in the UK following a road accident in Europe.

 
Accidents on holiday which cause personal injury are increasingly common in the UK and abroad, due to more people travelling each year. Claiming for personal injury after a holiday road accident is much more difficult to deal with in a foreign country. The language barrier and the extra inconvenience and expense involved make claiming for a personal injury sustained on holiday a tricky business. If you think you have a claim for a holiday accident that has resulted in personal injury, it is vital you contact a personal injury solicitor.

Since 2003 it has become much easier to pursue a holiday accident claim following injury in a road accident abroad. The 4th EU Directive was introduced to help those injured in road accidents in Europe and to get compensation for their injuries and losses.

It is now possible to claim compensation in the UK following a road accident in Europe.

All cars insured in the EU are registered on a database and accordingly if the injured party has kept details of the registration plate of the vehicle at fault, the identity of the driver`s insurers can be found through the database. This makes the success of a personal injury claim following a road accident much more likely, and also means that the claim can be made in the UK.

Claiming compensation from the owner of the vehicle involved
The insurers of the vehicle at fault have to nominate a representative in the country where the claimant lives which means that your holiday accident claim can be dealt with by a solicitor in the UK- without you having to find and pay for a foreign lawyer.

The Directive states that there must be someone to answer the holiday accident claim, and if the identity of the insurance company can be found, then the claim is made against them. If the insurance company cannot be found or they delay in dealing with a claim then there must be a body in place to handle the road accident claim. In the UK the Motor Insurers Bureau handle claims against untraced or uninsured drivers. Farnworth Rose Personal Injury Solicitors can help you get the compensation you deserve for personal injury sustained in a road accident on holiday abroad.
If you are injured in a road accident outside Europe you will probably have to pursue your claim for compensation in the country where the accident happened.

Holiday road accidents abroad - on the increase

The incidence of road accidents in some parts of Europe is far higher than in the UK and many British people are killed or injured every year. There are twice as many fatal accidents in mainland Europe than the UK and three times as many in Portugal and Greece.
