Compensation in case of death abroad
Going on a trip outside the country, we rarely think about the dangers that lie ahead. However, information on the death of Russian tourists is often on the news.
And we do not even imagine how many citizens are returning from abroad with injuries and other harm caused to their health.
DTK Partners specialists will help initiate the lawsuit and will take all necessary measures to obtain compensation from the person responsible for the death of your relative.
Compensation in case of death abroad
In accordance with the law, the person who caused the harm, due to his action or inaction, is obliged to compensate the victim. In the event of the death of a citizen, his relatives are entitled to compensation.
Judicial practice shows that Russian citizens rarely receive compensation in the event of the death of relatives outside the country. In most cases, the reason is the lack of necessary legal knowledge.
Legal services
The peculiarity of collecting compensation in the event of the death of a loved one abroad must take into account the following nuances:
- Only a close relative or spouse can initiate the process;
- former spouses and cohabitants are not endowed with such an opportunity;
- the process must be initiated in the state where the harm was caused;
- the cause of the incident can be both a legal entity and an individual.
Attracting a lawyer to the process will not only save time and money on the proceedings, but also significantly increase your chances of winning. Since a successful process requires specific experience and knowledge of the laws of other countries.
You do not have to draw up documents and personally attend the proceedings. You only need to conclude an agreement and issue a notarized power of attorney.
