The convention concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF) applies in Europe, the Maghreb and in the Middle East. While it covers all aspects of harmonisation across international rail frontiers, the most important thing it does - if you've been injured on a train journey - is to establish a uniform legal regime for all contracts concerning the carriage of passengers and goods. This means that if you need to claim compensation for an injury sustained as a result of rail travel in these regions, our lawyers can act for you under a clearly understood set of legal responsibilities. If you've been injured as a result of a train journey abroad, talk to an expert to find out if you may be able to claim compensation.
