Claiming compensation for a work accident abroad

Many British people work for large UK companies that have extensive overseas operations. In the event that such a worker suffers workplace injury in an accident abroad, it may be possible for a UK-based no win, no fee solicitor, such as those on YouClaim's esteemed panel, to help the injured person mount a claim for compensation.

However, the vagaries of Private International Law are very complex and, where they apply, may sometimes frustrate a claimant's chances of settlement.

Such complex legal technicalities make it even more important that any claimant is represented by a leading solicitor.

Generally speaking though, if the accident happened to a worker who was performing work for a UK-based company, it should be possible, where negligence can be proven, for him or her to claim compensation.

Furthermore, if the employer has a UK-registered office or place of business, a good solicitor should be able to proceed in much the same say as with any typical workplace injury claim.

In short, just as with all work accident claims, in the event the work accident has occurred abroad the success or failure of any claim will depend on a solicitor proving the liability of the UK-based employer.
