Skiing accidents can be life-altering, disrupting your physical and emotional wellbeing and your financial stability. Injuries sustained in ski resorts abroad often bring added challenges, such as navigating foreign legal systems and dealing with international insurers. You may be concerned that you can’t claim from the UK, but that is not always the case.
Whether your accident was caused by another skier, poorly maintained equipment, or a lack of safety measures at the resort, you shouldn’t have to suffer the consequences alone. If your injury was the result of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
