MLS Lecture: Handling injury claims from overseas incidents

With an international workforce and more holidays being taken every year, there are ever-increasing claims being made for incidents occurring abroad. We take a close look at the applicable law and regulation in Europe which point claims back to the UK and look at the issues you need to be aware of should a claim relating to an overseas accident lands on your desk. Depending on political developments, we will reflect on the potential impact of Brexit.
