Why act now?

Accidents abroad claims typically have a three-year time limit in the UK, but this can vary by country (e.g., two years under the Montreal or Athens Conventions for flight or cruise incidents). Acting promptly strengthens your case by preserving evidence like medical records, police reports, or photos of the accident scene. Delays can complicate claims, especially in foreign jurisdictions. Marley Solicitors will guide you through gathering evidence, navigating international laws, and negotiating with insurers or pursuing court action to secure the compensation you deserve.
