Visitor Injury Guide

Foreign Tourists Injured in the United States

Foreign tourists injured in the United States may need help understanding medical treatment, insurance claims, and legal options after an accident.

Injured away from home?

Keep records, get medical care, save photos and videos, and do not assume the insurance company will explain every option available to you.

What Visitors Should Know After an Injury

  • Get medical attention and keep copies of all records.
  • Save police reports, incident reports, hotel reports, and rideshare receipts.
  • Take photos and videos of the scene, hazards, vehicles, injuries, and witnesses.
  • Keep insurance information, travel insurance documents, and rental car paperwork.
  • Ask how medical billing works before leaving the state or country.

International Visitor Issues

Visitors from Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Netherlands, Portugal, and United States and other countries may face unfamiliar insurance systems, medical billing rules, language barriers, and deadlines. Injury claims can become more complicated when the injured person returns home before treatment or the claim process is complete.
