Holiday related Accidents
Claiming compensation for a Holiday-related
injury
Had a holiday accident? Consider making a claim for holiday
accident compensation.
Taking a holiday abroad is one of the things that many people look forward
to all year, but for a few a dream vacation can turn into a nightmare.
Although the vast majority of holidays are remembered for all the right
reasons being in a foreign, unfamiliar place can make you open to new
and entirely unforeseen dangers.
Sometimes this can result in personal injury and a holiday accident claim.
In most cases the situation is resolved through a claim on holiday insurance,
but occasionally the incident may mean you need to turn to a specialist
holiday compensation solicitor.
There may be a number of reasons for this and due to the fact that the
claim for holiday accident compensation may involve dealing with foreign
authorities as well as a tour operator it is vital to seek professional
legal advice at the earliest opportunity.
They should have extensive experience of all types of holiday accident
compensation claims, from car accidents abroad to injuries resulting from
faulty equipment in hotel rooms.
Among the most common holiday compensation claims are:
Watersport accidents
Car accidents and motorcycle accidents
Skiing accidents
Food poisoning and other illnesses
Personal injury in a hotel
Injury as a result of an assault or reckless behaviour
In some cases it may also be possible to bring a holiday accident compensation
claim against a tour operator for providing inaccurate or misleading information
about your holiday destination, which has led to you being injured or
ill through no fault of your own.
The amount of compensation will vary depending on the circumstances of
the holiday accident injury, the severity of the injury and other factors
such as your age and possibly the need for long-term care.
As with all compensation claims it will need to be established that someone
else was at fault and the holiday accident was not the result of you own
reckless behaviour.
In many cases you may also be able to pursue a 'no win no fee' claim for
holiday accident compensation.
Many legal professionals, including specialist personal injury solicitors
stress the importance of speed when making a claim for a holiday accident
so, if you have are injured or ill abroad, seek legal advice as soon as
you return. However, even if your holiday was some time ago, it may not
be too late to make a claim for holiday compensation, but speak to a personal
injury solicitor as soon as possible.
