Personal injury attorneys for international lawsuits in Wisconsin Get compensation for injuries from traveling abroad

No one who travels abroad expects to be injured. Unfortunately, accidents do happen. When misfortune strikes while out of your home country, language barriers can complicate an already difficult situation.

If you suffer an injury while traveling abroad, or if you live outside of the US and suffer an injury, your first step (after seeking medical treatment) should be to contact a personal injury attorney in the US. All reputable personal injury law firms (Warshafsky Law included) offer a no-cost initial consultation, so you will be able to at least get some advice on how to proceed.

Determination of Jurisdiction for a case involving injuries abroad

You might think you’re at the mercy of the court system in the country where you were injured. This isn’t necessarily so. You may actually be able to have your injury claim handled by an attorney in the United States. It all hinges on the determination of jurisdiction for the case.

The determination of jurisdiction has profound implications on a case, since any award of damages will be based on whatever provisions the legal system in the country with jurisdiction has for injury cases. In cases involving injury caused by a defective product, it may be possible to pursue a claim in the United States if the defective product was made by a company that does business in the US. 

With so many complex legal issues involved in pursuing a claim for an injury sustained abroad, you will need to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney to determine if and how a claim can be made. Warshafsky Law offers a free initial legal consultation to assess your case.

What if you are a foreigner who has been injured in the US?

If you are visiting the US and have been injured, your best course of action will be to consult a personal injury attorney in the US. Even if you have problems speaking English, any reputable law firm will be able to locate a translator to assist with an initial legal consultation and any ongoing work.
