Whether you are a pedestrian, passenger or driver of a vehicle Pannone can help you with your personal injury claim abroad.

More and more holiday makers are taking their cars to Europe and beyond or hiring a car at their resort. Many English workers are sent abroad by their employers and often need to drive or be driven as part of their job. With unfamiliar rules of the road accidents will happen.

It would be wrong to assume that just because an accident has happened abroad the claim must be made in the country where the accident happened. Pannone have been at the forefront of taking action in the English courts for foreign accidents. This is a complex area of law and it is vital to make the right choices about where to bring your case at the outset.

Road users in Europe now have the benefits of the EU 4th and 5th Motor Insurance Directives when making a personal injury claim which compels European insurers to appoint a UK handling agent to deal with claims in English and to a set time frame. The scheme can provide a straightforward means of negotiation avoiding language and cultural differences.

Action for compensation in England will always be a consideration when we are advising you but if it is necessary and feasible to take action using the legal system in a foreign county we can help. With years of experience behind us we have the right contacts -worldwide- to access good advice for you where action in a foreign country is necessary.

Here are some examples of cases we have handled:

• Road traffic accident in France where action was brought against the insurers of a French driver under the French system and substantial damages in excess of €50,000 were recovered
• A claim for a pedestrian hit by a Taxi in Spain whilst crossing a road. Negotiations with the Spanish insurance company lead to a settlement of €32,000
• A holidaymaker with neck and knee injuries recovered £5,000 against the English holiday company when she was involved in a coach crash in Portugal on transfer from the airport to her hotel
• $2 millon awarded to an English woman with serious injuries following a crash in a hire car in California.
