Thank you very much for dealing with my accident claim promptly and efficiently. I would certainly recommend you to all my friends should they have a similar problem.

Coach crashes and accidents
Have you been injured in a coach crash or accident while traveling or on holiday? Were you a driver, passenger, pedestrian, motorcyclist, or cyclist? If so, we can help you claim compensation. Blake Lapthorn solicitors’ experience in Europe, the USA, and other countries worldwide, will give you the best chance of a successful claim.
In some countries the injured person in a coach accident has to prove fault but in other countries, such as France, there is an automatic right to compensation. At Blake Lapthorn we know the best approach to your claim because we are experienced in the different national legal systems.
Under EU motor insurance directives, you will be able to bring the case in the UK if the accident occurred in the European Union or in the other countries in the European Economic Area (Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein).
Claims for accidents outside these countries may have to be pursued in the country where they occurred. On occasion it may be better to bring a claim in the country where the accident happened. We will consider what is best for you, and use our foreign languages capabilities if a claim is brought abroad. At Blake Lapthorn we are also familiar with the different rules on compensation, costs, fault, and rules of evidence that vary from country to country. This keeps legal costs down.
Perhaps you are a defendant in a coach crash that occurred abroad. If so, one of our multi-lingual team of lawyers can act in defending you, working with our network of agents abroad to protect you. This keeps legal costs down.
Contact us as soon as possible, taking advantage of our free initial consultation. Time limits will apply to your claim. Generally the time limit in the UK is three years but there are exceptions, and some foreign countries have shorter time limits.
We will discuss all funding options with you, most personal injury claims can be pursued at no cost to you. You may have legal expenses insurance on your travel insurance, house insurance, or on your car insurance. Trade union membership sometimes includes legal expenses insurance. Alternatively, your claim may be eligible for our ‘no win no fee’ arrangement or you may already have insurance to pay legal costs. We will advise you as to the best way to protect you from paying legal costs.
