Common injuries
Car accidents abroad can cause serious injuries. Whether you need whiplash injury claims support or help with complex fractures, we've handled it all.
The most common car accident injury. Pain, stiffness, and headaches that can last months and seriously affect your daily life.
Arms, legs, ribs, pelvis — high-speed collisions abroad cause serious fractures. Surgery in a foreign hospital makes it even harder.
From mild concussion to traumatic brain injury. Getting proper diagnosis abroad can be challenging, making your claim even more important.
Back trauma and spinal damage from collisions that can change your life. Often requires specialist treatment back in the UK.
Lacerations and burns from crashes that leave permanent scars. The cosmetic and emotional impact deserves full compensation.
Anxiety, PTSD, fear of driving abroad again. The mental impact of a holiday accident is a real injury that deserves real compensation.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about making a holiday accident claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
Yes, you absolutely can claim compensation for a car accident abroad, even from the UK. EU law protects you with the Motor Insurance Directives, which means foreign insurers must have UK representatives to handle your claim. As a tourist, you're vulnerable to unfamiliar roads, different driving laws, and language barriers.
We see holidaymakers struggling with medical bills in foreign currencies, lost earnings, and ruined trips. None of that should be your burden to bear alone. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
Yes, you can still claim compensation for accidents outside the EU, though the process may differ. We handle claims from destinations worldwide. Your dedicated Claims Manager will navigate the specific legal requirements for whatever country your accident happened in. Call us on 0333 006 8282 and we'll talk you through the next step.
Compensation depends on your injuries and circumstances. Whiplash injuries typically range from £2,300-£7,410, while serious fractures can be worth significantly more. You can also claim for medical bills paid abroad, lost earnings, ruined holiday costs, and travel expenses on top of injury compensation.
The European Accident Statement (Constat Amiable) is just their standard way of exchanging details, it's not a confession or waiver. It's completely safe to fill out and won't harm your accident abroad compensation claim. We handle these international forms all the time.
You will not be left to work it out alone. We'll explain what happens next, keep things clear and connect eligible cases with the right working partners. No call centres, no repeating your story multiple times.
Time limits vary by country, some give you less than the UK's three-year rule, others give you more. Don't risk missing the deadline by waiting. We'll check the exact time limits for your specific case and get everything moving immediately.
Road accidents are one of the leading causes of injury for British tourists abroad. The Foreign Office handles thousands of cases involving UK nationals in road traffic accidents overseas each year.
Different driving conditions, unfamiliar roads, and driving on the opposite side all contribute to the higher risk. If you've been injured abroad, you deserve proper compensation.
