Travel and Foreign Claims

We specialise in claims arising out of accidents abroad or accidents in the United Kingdom involving foreign nationals. We provide advice and representation for claims of all sizes.

What sets us apart from other Chambers practising in this area is that a number of members have academic backgrounds in European and private international law, which are highly specialist areas. We also draw on 2tg’s expertise in personal injury and insurance, as relevant to foreign accident claims as to domestic claims.

We have acted in many of the leading cases involving issues of jurisdiction and applicable law in a personal injury context, including: Harding v Wealands [2005] 1 WLR 1539 and [2007] 2 AC 1, Baines v Baines QBD [2008] unreported, Cooley v Ramsey [2008] EWCH 129 (QB), Jacobs v Motor Insurers Bureau [2010] EWHC 231 (QB) and EWCA Civ. 1208, Bacon v Nacional Suiza [2010] EWHC 2017 (QB).

We are regularly instructed in package travel claims. Members of the group acted in the landmark decision in Milner v Carnival [2010] EWCA Civ. 389.  

We act for both Claimants and Defendants, acting for and against insurers (domestic and foreign), tour operators and travel agents, hoteliers, cruise operators and airlines.

Individual members are recommended in the legal directories in these areas of expertise.

Members are able to work in German, French, Spanish and Swedish.
