An accident abroad can turn a dream trip into a nightmare, leaving you injured, stressed, and unsure of your rights. Whether it’s a fall in a hotel, a road crash, or an injury on an excursion, you don’t have to face the aftermath alone. At Marley Solicitors, we specialise in accident abroad claims, helping UK residents, including Londoners, secure the compensation they deserve, no matter where the incident happened. Our expert solicitors are here to guide you through the complexities of international claims with care and confidence.
Accidents abroad: Londoners at risk
Londoners love to travel, but accidents abroad are more common than you might think. According to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), over 17,000 British nationals needed consular assistance for accidents or injuries abroad in 2023, with London residents making up roughly 20% of these cases, around 3,400 incidents. The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) also reports that slips, trips, and falls account for 40% of holiday injury claims, while road traffic accidents abroad involving UK citizens spike during peak travel seasons. These numbers show that even seasoned travellers from the capital aren’t immune to mishaps, and when they happen, we’re here to help.

Real stories, real results

They navigated the foreign legal system for me and secured compensation that covered my recovery costs, giving me peace of mind when I needed it most.” – David K., Brixton, London
How we make it simple
We’ve streamlined the claims process to reduce your stress:
- Tell us your story: Call us or fill out our online form to share what happened.
- Free case review: We’ll evaluate your accident and confirm if you can claim, no cost involved.
- Evidence gathering: We’ll collect medical records, witness statements, or photos, even liaising with overseas contacts if needed.
- Winning your compensation: We negotiate with insurers or foreign parties to get you the best possible settlement.
Time limits vary by country, some are as short as one year, so don’t delay. If your holiday was booked through a UK tour operator, you’ve got three years under UK law, but acting fast strengthens your case.
London travellers: Know your risks
Londoners jet off worldwide, but popular destinations come with risks. The FCDO notes that Spain, a top spot for UK travellers, saw over 5,000 British injury cases in 2023, many from falls or traffic accidents. Closer to home, even short trips to Europe can go wrong, think slippery hotel lobbies in Paris or reckless drivers in Rome. Whether you’re from Zone 1 or the suburbs, if someone else’s negligence caused your injury abroad, we’ll fight to hold them accountable, wherever they are.
