Whether or not things go as you hope on the pitch, you’ll want a trouble-free trip if you’re off to South Africa for the World Cup.

However, if the worst does happen, and you suffer an accident or illness en route, at the tournament, or coming home, it should be possible to pursue a compensation claim.

Similarly, if you fell ill or suffered food poisoning, you may also be entitled to compensation.

We have dedicated, highly experienced, approachable lawyers who specialise in accident and/or illness claims abroad.

So should you be unfortunate to have your World Cup trip ruined by injury or illness, please don't hesitate to get in touch and find out whether you have a claim.

Important things to consider when deciding to make a compensation claim

Ultimately, only you can decide whether or not to make a claim, but we can help you make that decision.
