International Claim Services

Every year millions of visitors from Western Europe come to Turkey for their holidays, conferences, sporting competitions and business. Unfortunately, some of these visitors lose their valuables, are involved in car accidents, are robbed etc. In some cases these visitors or their insurers can make a claim for their losses or damage on the Turkish insurer or directly to the party that caused the damage.

Case Handling Procedures

A claim procedure in Turkey is generally pretty straight forward. It consists of roughly of two stages. The first is an amicable settlement, which is an attempt for resolution of the claims without going to the court. This involves writing to and calling the debtor. The second stage is undertaken via a legal action through a court of law and the Bailiff Office for debt recovery. Consequently Turkish Legal Centre has a-3 file system for handling a case:

1. Amicable settlement
2. Litigation procedures
3. Legal Action for collection of a debt
