Avv. Riccardo Virga
London-based.
Italy-focused.
Built for cross-border claims.
We are a London-based Italian law firm built for cross-border matters. When an accident happens in Italy and you are back home in the UK, we handle the legal process on your behalf in English.
We were completely lost after the car accident in Rome… this was the first time we were involved in an accident and it happened during our holiday, so we had no idea what to do, especially since we had been injured and needed not just medical treatment, but assistance in getting the entire family back home. Riccardo’s amazing team explained everything clearly, handled all the Italian bureaucracy (which was a lot!) and kept us informed throughout. The best part is that we never had to travel back to Italy once.
Injury cases we handle in Italy.
Have you suffered a personal injury accident during your trip to Italy? This may include accidents like car and road accidents, slipping and falling in public places, accidents caused by faulty goods and many others. If you have suffered any kind of personal injury, illness or accident that was not your fault, our experience team of Italian Personal Injury Lawyers in London will assist you to obtain the compensation you deserve on matters like:
A clear process, with no surprises.
Starting a legal claim in a foreign country feels daunting. We have designed a process that is simple, transparent and entirely manageable from wherever you are in the world, with no obligation until you decide to proceed.
Use our online form, call us directly, or book a video consultation. Tell us the facts: where the accident happened, what injuries you suffered, and who else was involved. There’s no cost or commitment at this stage, just a clear, confidential conversation with a multilingual team that understands cross‑border claims.
You speak directly with one of our Italian‑qualified lawyers, in English. We listen to your story, ask the right questions about the circumstances, the medical treatment you received, and any evidence you already have. Then we give you an honest, initial view of your legal position under Italian civil law, along with a realistic timeline. This call carries no obligation and no charge.
Once you give us the go‑ahead, our specialist team collects the key evidence (police reports, Italian medical records, witness statements, photographs, and video footage…) while you stay at home. We identify the liable parties and their insurers, obtain any necessary expert opinions (medical and/or accident reconstruction), and build the legal foundation of your claim before anything else moves forward.
We notify the insurance companies and responsible parties, submit your formal claim in accordance with Italian procedural rules, and handle all ongoing negotiation. Throughout, we keep you updated in plain English, no legal Italian, no unexplained forms. Should the initial negotiations not result in a fair offer, we prepare the case for court proceedings and represent you in the Italian legal system, always explaining your options.
The majority of our claims are settled through pre‑trial negotiation, often within months. If a satisfactory out‑of‑court settlement cannot be reached, we litigate decisively. Either way, you remain in control of key decisions and we don’t rest until the compensation you are entitled to is secured and paid.
Questions we hear most often.
If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies, or simply want to understand what is involved before making contact, these answers should help.
Can I make a claim if I was injured while on holiday in Italy?
Yes. Being a tourist does not prevent you from pursuing a personal injury claim under Italian law. If your injury was caused by the negligence or fault of a third party — another driver, a hotel, a tour operator or a public body — you have the same rights as any other claimant under Italian civil law. The fact that you live in the UK or abroad is not a barrier to bringing a claim.
Do I need to travel to Italy to pursue my claim?
In most cases, no. We manage the Italian legal process on your behalf from our London base. Initial consultations are conducted by phone or video call. Where your physical presence in Italy is required at any stage, which is uncommon, we would advise you well in advance and explain the reasons clearly.
How long do I have to make a claim for an injury in Italy?
Italian limitation periods vary depending on the type of claim. Road traffic accident claims are generally subject to a two-year limitation period from the date of the accident. Other personal injury claims may have different timeframes. Acting quickly is advisable in all cases, not only to preserve your limitation position, but also because evidence can disappear and witnesses become harder to trace with time. We recommend seeking advice as soon as possible after the accident.
What does it cost to use your service?
The initial assessment call is entirely free and carries no obligation. If you decide to proceed, we provide a clear written cost estimate before any work begins, so there are no surprises. We will explain our fee structure transparently and ensure you understand the financial picture before committing to anything.
How long does a personal injury claim in Italy typically take?
Timelines vary significantly depending on the nature and complexity of the claim. Many cases are resolved through out-of-court settlement, which can happen within months. Claims that proceed to litigation in the Italian courts typically take longer. During your assessment call, we will give you a realistic expectation for your specific situation based on the facts of the case.
My injury happened some time ago. Is it too late to claim?
It depends on when the accident happened and the nature of the claim. Limitation periods under Italian law are strict but not always immediately expired. Even where time has passed, it is worth seeking an assessment quickly rather than assuming nothing can be done. The earlier you contact us, the more options are likely to be available.
My injury seems minor. Is it still worth pursuing?
Many clients underestimate the value of their claim before speaking to us. Even apparently straightforward injuries can give rise to compensation for medical costs, lost earnings, temporary biological damage and the impact on your holiday or daily life. We will give you an honest assessment, including if we believe the claim is unlikely to be viable, during the free initial call.
You have read this far because something happened.
Whether your accident was last week or several months ago, the most important thing you can do right now is speak to someone who understands both the Italian legal system and what international clients need.
The first call is free. It carries no obligation. And it will give you a clear, honest picture of where you stand.
