Illness & Injury Abroad Claims - Evidence & Liability

Introduction

Are you handling personal injury claims involving UK citizens injured abroad? Whether it is a road accident, food poisoning, or a sporting injury like skiing, navigating liability and evidence across borders can be complex.

Designed for those involved in bringing or defending personal injury claims brought by UK citizens who are injured or fall ill abroad, this webinar will consider the various statutory instruments that apply to travel companies offering ‘package’ holidays as well as the implications of Brexit and the wider issues of international liability and enforcement.

What You Will Learn

This webinar will cover the following:

• The importance of witness statements to demonstrate what has happened to the proposed claimants. Use of photographs, plans, and medical records where appropriate
• The need to determine whether a claim can be brought against a UK tour operator under the statutory provisions
• Issues arising with foreign insurers if a UK tour operator cannot be sued
• The possible need for expert evidence as to safe practices abroad and liability issues arising from that
• Limitation issues if the jurisdiction for the claim will not be the UK
• Evidence as to foreign law if the case is not to be determined according to the law of England and Wales. Use of experts
• Special difficulties of taxation which may arise if the claimant is not living in the UK at the time that the claim is finalised

This pre-recorded webinar will be available to view from Thursday 17th September 2026
