Assaults And Hijacking Abroad

Have you been assaulted abroad?

If you have been the victim of a criminal assault, rape or hijacking then you may be able to claim compensation.

It may be possible, depending on the circumstances, to bring a claim in the UK against the Tour Operator.

In other cases, claims may be made abroad against an assailant, the relevant government fund or against a party who has failed to take adequate steps to ensure your safety.

In a successful claim, damages can be substantial and we have successfully recovered compensation in many assault and hijacking cases around the world.

Liability can be complex, and we are happy to offer free initial advice.
