Personal Injury & Compensation for foreign nationals

Full and fair compensation after accidents, medical negligence and wrongful acts in Türkiye — for foreign victims and their families.

Foreign nationals injured in Türkiye — in traffic accidents, workplace incidents, or through medical negligence — have the same compensation rights as Turkish citizens. Exercising those rights from abroad, in a foreign language, is where cases are usually lost. We quantify claims properly, negotiate with insurers from a position of strength, and litigate when the offer is not fair.

Most compensation claims are subject to strict limitation periods. An early assessment costs you nothing in lost rights.

Questions


Personal Injury & Compensation — frequently asked

The insurer already made an offer. Should I accept?

Not before an independent calculation. Initial offers to foreign claimants are frequently far below the amount a court would award. A release signed early can close the file permanently.

Can I claim from abroad?

Yes. With a consular power of attorney we run the entire claim — evidence, negotiation, litigation and collection — while you are in your home country.

What are the deadlines?

Limitation periods vary by claim type — typically two to eight years, but some notification duties arise much earlier. Have your case assessed as soon as possible.
