Accidents Abroad
Package Holiday & Travel Compensation Claims
Everyone expects to enjoy a safe and relaxing holiday abroad but, unfortunately not all holidays have a happy ending. Accidents and illness often ruin package holidays but if you booked a package holiday you could be eligible for compensation under The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992.
It doesn't matter if the accident happened in the UK or abroad as long as it was a package holiday. To qualify as a package holiday at least two or more parts of the holiday must have been booked together and paid for at an inclusive price. The normal example is booking your flights and accommodation as part of a package deal. This can also include excursions booked at the time of the original booking and also food and drink packages.
Your travel injury compensation claim would not be pursued against the foreign provider of the holiday such as the hotelier; it is pursued against the tour operator. This means that your claim can de dealt with in England & Wales as opposed to the country where the accident happened. This makes bringing a claim for holiday injury compensation easy and hassle free as you will be dealing with solicitors in your own country without the difficulties of language barriers and distance.
In order to pursue a claim on your behalf it is important that you have reported the accident or illness to the holiday representatives and hotel staff. Other things that will help your claim are photographs of the scene, medical treatment information and any witness details.
Successful Package Holiday Claims
We have helped a number of different people who have suffered accidents and illness abroad obtain compensation for their injuries. Some examples of cases we have dealt with include a bridal party of over 30 people who contracted a debilitating norovirus whilst in the Dominican Republic. We negotiated compensation for all members of the party that became unwell. We have helped a number of other people who contracted food poisoning whilst abroad.
We have helped a lady on a dancing holiday who slipped on debris on the dance floor, a gentleman who trod on a broken tile in the swimming pool and a lady who tripped on an unmarked step whilst walking to her hotel lobby.
All these claims for holiday injury compensation have been successful and each person has been compensated for their injury and loss. Compensation has been awarded for the injuries sustained and financial losses that follow the accident. We can also claim for loss of enjoyment of holiday. These are just a few examples of the many people we have helped who have suffered an injury whilst on holiday abroad.
We sincerely hope that your holiday is enjoyable and you don't suffer an injury but if you should suffer an accident or illness when abroad we would be happy to discuss this matter with you.
