Travel Accident Injury Compensation
What a nightmare – you’ve gone overseas to immerse yourself in a new culture, for business or just for a relaxing holiday, only to become involved in an overseas motor vehicle accident.
What To Do If I’m Involved in a Car Accident Abroad?
The first thing to remember is seek medical treatment and not to let the stress overtake you. Whilst you are still in the foreign country, you should gather as much information about the accident as possible. This should include photographs of the vehicles, names and contact details of witnesses, details of the insurance companies of the vehicles, and copies of the police report and your foreign medical records.
The good news is that even though we are all the way back in Australia, we can provide assistance. We can advise you by telephone or email on what you should do to preserve your rights for before you return home.
What If I’m Partly at Fault in the Road Accident Abroad?
Even if you are partly at fault, you may still be entitled to car accident abroad compensation. If you’re not sure about whether or not you are considered negligent in the accident, it is best to get in touch with us as soon as possible.
We recommend recording as much information as possible about the road accident and passing it onto us so that we have all the tools necessary to help.
