Being involved in a road traffic collision is a frightening experience; even more so when it occurs whilst on holiday. This is a type of accident that can involve any type of vehicle.

In most cases you would be able to bring a claim forward in your country of residence; thanks to the EU Motor Insurance Directives there is often no need to instruct a lawyer abroad.

We can help you get compensation if the accident wasn’t your fault and it happened inside an EU country, the USA or it was with a foreign national inside the UK.
