On Holiday Accident Compensation Solicitors

By:




Having an accident whilst on holiday is sure to ruin your yearly relaxing getaway. If you were not responsible for the accident then it may be possible for you to make a holiday accident compensation claim

If your accident occurred whilst you were holidaying in the United Kingdom then your compensation claim will be handled in the same manner as any other personal injury compensation claim. If the accident occurred abroad then slightly different rules will apply.

For a specialist holiday accident solicitor to proceed with your compensation claim against the holiday Tour Operator the holiday has to have been booked as part of a package of flights, transfers and accommodation in one all inclusive price. The accident you have suffered must also be the fault of the Tour Operator and/or their representatives such as staff at the hotel.

If you have had an accident abroad and suffered an injury as a result of that accident then should contact a specialist on holiday accident compensation claim solicitor who will be able to help you claim compensation for you on a no win, no fee basis.

After your holiday accident, remember to try and take photographs of the accident location. Try to get the names and addresses of any witnesses. Ensure that the accident is reported to a Tour Operator representative or a member of the hotel staff and that an accident report form is completed. Remember to keep any receipts for additional expenses that you have incurred as a result of the accident.

Common accidents that a specialist holiday accident claims solicitor will routinely handle include:

* Accidents that occur onboard cruise ships
* Accidents that occur onboard aircraft
* Tripping and Slipping accidents that occur in Hotels
* Accidents in swimming pools such as injuries sustained from broken tiles and grids
* Watersports accidents such as Jetski incidents
* Accidents that occur while holidaymakers are taking part in organised excursions

Claims against UK tour operators can be pursued via the 1992 Package Travel Regulations for improper performance of the contract.
