Accident abroad statistics for Oxfordshire

Accidents abroad affect many Oxfordshire residents who travel for holidays or business, often leading to personal injury claims. While specific local data is limited, regional and national statistics provide insight into their prevalence and impact:

• Holiday accident claims: Nationally, over 10,000 UK holidaymakers pursue accident abroad claims annually, with the South East, including Oxfordshire, contributing significantly due to its high travel frequency to destinations like Spain, Turkey, and Greece (Express Solicitors, 2023).
• Common incidents: In 2023, 30% of UK holiday accident claims involved slips, trips, or falls in hotels or resorts, while 25% stemmed from road traffic accidents abroad, trends reflected in claims from Oxfordshire residents (Slater and Gordon, 2023).
• Package holiday claims: Approximately 60% of accident abroad claims in the UK are linked to package holidays, where UK-based tour operators can be held liable, making claims more straightforward for Oxfordshire travellers (MG Legal, 2024).

These statistics highlight the importance of seeking expert legal support to navigate the complexities of international claims and secure compensation for injuries sustained abroad.

How we can help Oxfordshire residents

Marley Solicitors supports residents across Oxfordshire, including those in popular postcodes such as OX1, OX2, OX3, OX4, OX5, OX7, OX9, OX11, and OX14. Whether you’ve been injured in a hotel accident in Dorchester-on-Thames, a road collision in Charlbury, or a tour excursion mishap while abroad, we have the expertise to handle your claim. We represent clients for a range of accident abroad claims, including:

• Slips, trips, or falls in hotels, resorts, or public areas due to poor maintenance.
• Road traffic accidents involving foreign drivers, taxis, or rental vehicles.
• Injuries during package holiday excursions or activities organised by tour operators.
• Accidents in hotels or restaurants, such as food poisoning or pool-related injuries.
• Injuries caused by defective equipment or unsafe premises abroad.

Our goal is to secure compensation for general damages (pain, suffering, and psychological impact) and special damages (medical costs, travel expenses, loss of earnings, and rehabilitation). We assess the applicable jurisdiction and choice of law, often pursuing claims against UK-based tour operators for package holidays or through foreign insurers for other incidents. We follow the Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims, gathering evidence like medical records, travel documents, and witness statements to build a strong case, and pursue settlements through negotiation, mediation, or court action if necessary.
