Understanding the latest developments in international personal injury law to establish liability and mitigate risk

Introduction

Claims by those who have incurred injury while working or on holiday abroad are on the rise. Procedural, jurisdiction and choice of law concerns immediately arise when an accident occurs abroad. With recent changes to the Package Travel Directive and developments relating to the temporal scope of Rome II, it is essential that you keep up to date in this rapidly evolving area of law.

Leaders in the fields of personal injury and travel law will explore a plethora of topics from sourcing local experts in other countries to the pitfalls to avoid when dealing with foreign.

Butterworths’ Personal Injury Abroad conference will provide you with a comprehensive insight into the foremost developments in international personal injury law. Chaired by Bernard Doherty of Thirty Nine Essex Street, our unparalleled speaker panel will offer practical advice to establish liability and mitigate risk.
