For many Germans, a round trip across the USA by car is a dream come true. Whether with rental cars, motorbikes, scooters or other vehicles — the endless highways invite freedom and flexibility. But this form of travel also involves risks: Traffic accidents are among the most common problems during a stay in the USA. Although car rental insurance covers part of the damage in some cases, it may be necessary to take legal action against the responsible driver or his insurance company in order to obtain comprehensive compensation.

Trips with services such as Uber or Lyft, on travel or charter buses, on cruise ships or even on an airplane can also lead to serious accidents. Since this often involves several parties — drivers, operators or large companies — the legal situation is complex. At the same time, these providers usually have high insurance covers, which can be claimed for injured parties.

Hotels, restaurants, bars, casinos, amusement parks and tourist attractions are important points of contact for travelers — but at the same time, they pose risks of injury. Tripping and falling accidents, poor maintenance, uneven floors, or lack of safety measures can cause significant damage to guests and visitors.

Hotel and restaurant staff as well as operators of bars, casinos or leisure attractions are required by law to ensure safe conditions. If they fail to do so, injured persons can make legal claims to receive appropriate compensation.

Many of the most famous destinations in the USA offer exciting leisure activities such as jet skiing, ziplining, skiing, parasailing and more. Unfortunately, these activities involve certain risks, and accidents can result from faulty equipment, inadequate safety measures, or the fault of operators. Understanding liability issues is crucial to successfully assert claims for compensation.

When exploring a new city, you often travel many distances on foot. Unfortunately, accidents involving pedestrians are not uncommon, particularly in areas with heavy traffic, poorly marked crosswalks or inattentive drivers. If vehicle drivers disregard the right of way or ignore traffic rules, injured pedestrians can hold those responsible accountable for their actions.

Foreign workers and business travelers can also be injured at work in the USA, whether on a customer's premises or as a contractor. Depending on the visa and type of employment, there are different rights, for example under the Workers' Compensation System.
