This depends on the extent of fault on the part of the service provider, will the quality of the investigation conducted by your Overseas Travel Injury Lawyers, the quality of your evidence and the case relating to future income loss that you present.

Someone whose injury has had a significant effect on their quality of life (work, psychological, physical) is entitled to more substantial compensation than someone whose injury has had a minor impact on their life.

The amount of compensation also is determined by the following:

• General damages (loss of enjoyment in life due to suffering);
• Out-of-pocket expenses (medical bills, rehabilitation costs);
• Any loss of income and superannuation contributions;
• Paid and unpaid recuperative assistance;
• Ruined holiday loss;
• Holiday disappointment;
• Potential medical or personal care costs that are likely to occur due to the injury; and
• The interest from the loss of earnings.

“Cross-border” compensation claims carry many layers of complexity. Australian law usually applies to part of the claim and the law where the injury occurred to other parts.

It is necessary for Overseas Travel Injury Lawyers to extensively liaise with overseas counterparts on many aspects of these types of claims.

At Carter Capner Law, we understand that making a claim for an overseas injury can be complex. Here’s how we assist you through each stage of the claims process:

1. Initial Consultation: We’ll assess your case, explain the claims process, and confirm your eligibility for No Win, No Fee terms.
2. Investigation and Evidence Gathering: We collect medical reports, accident details, and statements from witnesses and authorities. This helps us understand how the injury has impacted your life.
3. Claim Settlement or Court Proceedings: We negotiate with insurance companies to recover the compensation you’re entitled to. If needed, we will take the matter to court.

Every situation is different. Our Overseas Travel Injury Lawyers will carefully assess your case, considering factors like:

• How the accident occurred
• Who was at fault
• The laws of the country where the injury took place
• Whether the claim can be conducted in Australia
• And more…

We’ll advise you on your chances of a successful claim and help you understand your options moving forward.

Whether your claim is worthwhile depends on the seriousness of your injury and how that affects your employment and lifestyle.

Some claims are not worthwhile such as those for trivial injuries where there is no insurer or the party at fault does not demonstrate significant assets against which a judgment can be enforced.

If you are not sure if your compensation claim is worthwhile, please contact our Overseas Travel Injury Lawyers, and we will help assess your needs and eligibility for our no-win no-fee service.
