How I work
A collision in Italy involving an Albanian car, or an accident at work during a period in Italy: the right to compensation remains, but it must be asserted in the right way and on time.
I pursue the claim with the insurers and, if necessary, before the Italian courts, explaining every step in Albanian.
Kavajë lies between Tirana and the port of Durrës, where ferries leave for Bari and Ancona. Many families in the area have relatives who live and work in Italy.
Common situations
- An accident in Italy involving a vehicle registered in Albania
- Injury in Italy as a passenger or pedestrian
- An accident at work while employed in Italy
- An insurer offering less than is due
