Foreign Accidents and International Injury Attorneys
If you are a U.S. resident traveling abroad on business or pleasure and have the misfortune to have an injury accident, you may believe or be told that you have no remedy. If the accident is the responsibility of a third party you may, in fact, have a remedy and the right to compensation for your injuries and losses and, in some countries, the right to have some of your attorney fees and expenses reimbursed by the responsible party.
The international personal injury attorneys at Baum & Blake work with an extensive network of lawyers throughout Europe and other foreign countries. If you have had an accident while traveling abroad, you should contact us. Sometimes we are able to secure jurisdiction over a foreign defendant and have your accident claim heard in a court in the United States. We have also successfully referred U.S. clients to foreign lawyers who have been able to secure compensation for their injuries and we feel that this is part of the service that we provide as specialists in handling claims for foreign visitors injured in the United States.
Examples of cases we have handled or referred include:
- U.S. residents injured in Mexico;
- U.S. residents injured in Canada in skiing and vehicle accidents;
- Silicon Valley Executive injured in an automobile collision in England;
- Passenger injured on a ferry boat traveling from to France;
- Air traveler injured in airport in Germany.
