Road accidents in Italy

Italian working in London had a road accident resulting in injury on holiday in Italy: what is the best location to bring a compensation claim? — by Conrad Murray — last modified 2007-10-10 13:03

I am an Italian working for an American bank in London. I pay tax in the UK. Recently on holiday back in Italy I was involved in an accident where a car ran into me from behind. Both my wife and I suffered (and continue to suffer) whiplash injuries. Can you advise whether as UK taxpayers we would be able to claim compensation for our injuries in the UK even though we are Italian nationals as I understand the compensation payouts are higher here.
