Legal advice from our lawyers: Traffic Accidents in Turkey

In Turkey, the number of vehicles with foreign number plates has increased and continues to increase. This is due to the increase in the number of vehicles put into circulation each year. This in turn has contributed to a significant increase in the number of road accidents in Turkey. Unfortunately, this is particularly noticeable during the holiday season. 

Following a traffic accident involving a foreign registered vehicle in Turkey, the victim or their next of kin may suffer material and non-material damages. In order to make a smooth claim for damages in Turkey and to secure compensation without loss of rights, it is advisable to consult English-speaking lawyers in Turkey. Ideally, they should specialise in road traffic accidents involving vehicles with foreign number plates.

It is also possible to pursue claims for damages arising from traffic accidents through third parties or companies instead of a lawyer. However, these people do not have in-depth knowledge of traffic law, which may result in you losing your rights or not getting the best result.
