While the country where your employer is based may affect how we approach and pursue your claim, it may not have any impact on your ability to bring a claim or the compensation amount you’re entitled to.
For accidents that occur in England and Wales, you normally have three years from the date of the accident to bring a compensation claim against your employer.
However, this will not be the case if your accident took place outside of England and Wales where English law does not apply. Some countries have much shorter time periods, some as short as 6-12 months from the date of the accident.
Our solicitors can advise on the process of making an accident at work abroad claim. We work with a network of lawyers and foreign experts in countries throughout the world, so you can expect professional legal representation regardless of the circumstances of your accident or where it happened.
