Accidents abroad: UK statistics

Accidents abroad affect thousands of UK residents each year, often disrupting holidays or business trips. Here are some key statistics highlighting the issue:

• In 2012/13, over 19,000 British nationals received consular assistance for serious incidents abroad, including 3,599 hospitalisations and over 6,000 deaths.
• Road traffic accidents are a leading cause of claims, with the UK reporting high numbers of overseas incidents, particularly in the EU and USA.
• Slips, trips, and falls in hotels or resorts account for a significant portion of claims, often due to poor maintenance or inadequate safety measures.
• Popular destinations like Spain, Turkey, and Greece see higher rates of reported accidents, including a 10% increase in rape and sexual assault cases in 2012/13 compared to the previous year.

These figures show the importance of seeking expert legal help for accidents abroad. Marley Solicitors ensures your claim is handled professionally, no matter where the incident occurred.
