Suffering an injury while on holiday can turn a dream trip into a nightmare, often made worse by language barriers and unfamiliar legal systems. Whether you were injured in a hotel, on an excursion, or while travelling, you shouldn’t have to navigate complex international laws alone.
At GAD Legal, our specialist accident abroad solicitors are experts in handling cross-border claims. We understand the specific regulations covering package holidays and international travel, ensuring you have the best representation to fight for your rights.
The Personal Injury team at Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors is here to help you through what can be an arduous process of filing and pursuing claims for injuries sustained whilst abroad.
Our representation involves working through international jurisdictions, with foreign interpreters and local counsel, to advise clients in connection with accidents occurring on holidays throughout the world.
Common Types of Accident Abroad Claims
- Injuries suffered as a result of defective hotel flooring.

How We Support Your International Claim
Our team of specialist personal injury lawyers can help you make a compensation claim if you suffered an injury whilst on holiday, or whilst working aborad. We can assist you every step of the way, from working out if you are entitled to compensation, through to evidence collection and case closure.
We urge you to contact us immediately, as foreign limitation periods vary significantly. Unlike the UK’s three-year rule, some countries (such as Spain or France) may have much shorter deadlines (often just one year) to file a claim.
