If you have suffered a serious head injury abroad, it is likely that legal issues will probably not be the first thing on your mind. It is likely that the first thoughts of yourself and those who are with you will turn to very practical worries such as securing and paying for medical care, dealing with your insurance company and arranging your trip home. After a serious head or brain injury abroad however, you may benefit from specialist legal advice to explore your rights and whether you make a head or brain injury claim to help you after your injury.
Once your immediate needs have been sorted and you are safely heading back home, you will need support and information to start planning for your recovery. If you have suffered from a head or brain injury, you will need to be linked in to specialist medical and support services back home to continue with your treatment. Your loved ones may need to sort out the arrangements for you and ensure that everything has been dealt with by your travel company (if you were on holiday) and any insurer that has provided cover for you.
Our specialist support after serious injury abroad
Depending upon how you received your injury, you may be entitled to seek compensation for what has happened. If so you will need specialist advice from a solicitor who is not only competent to understand and deal with legal claims involving foreign countries, but who also has an understanding of the challenges of head or brain injury and the care and support that you will need to help overcome the effects of your injury.
You may need help with claiming for financial support if you are unable to work due to your injury or are facing bills for treatment and support. Our expert service for clients who have had accidents abroad (whether on holiday, or on business) combined with our long established reputation in helping clients who have suffered head or brain injury are the best way of ensuring that you can receive the best legal advice.

Head injury legal claims involving incidents in other countries are rarely straightforward. Sometimes it is possible to claim for compensation in the UK for example if you are claiming from a UK tour company who arranged a package holiday for you. Often though you may have to start a claim abroad and personal injury laws vary greatly from one country to another. We have a team of lawyers that have represented clients in successfully pursuing claims in many different countries across the world over the years, and have built up considerable and unrivalled experience in international personal injury claims as a result.
