Fatal Injury Claims Abroad, Scotland

Making a fatal injury claim abroad

If a loved one has died as a result of an accident abroad, you can raise the claim in Scotland.

Scottish law defines who can raise a fatal accident claim. It also spells out that once the claim has been settled, it is dealt with. It cannot be opened again by family members who were not involved in the claim.

Our fatal injury solicitors will do everything we can to find everyone who can be part of the claim. These include:

While the claim can be raised in Scotland, our courts will consider the standards that are held in the country where the incident took place. This makes claims abroad more complex and is the reason why you will need the advice of an experienced fatal injury solicitor with experience in handling overseas claims.
