Holiday Accident Claims

With more people travelling on holiday abroad as well as in the UK, holiday accidents, especially serious accidents, have become more frequent.

Accidents which happen abroad often require specialist expertise simply because they are in a foreign jurisdiction, with different legal procedures as well as a foreign language.

If the holiday has been organised by a tour operator they will have a duty of care to provide a safe holiday. This duty however has limits and in many cases the holidaymaker will need expert legal assistance to pursue a civil claim for compensation arising from an accident in foreign jurisdiction.

The most common holiday accidents which happen on holiday abroad, and which have been successfully pursued on behalf of clients, include:

• Personal injuries which occur during sporting activities
• Personal injuries which happen during transportation
• Food poisoning and poor hygiene
• Tripping and slipping due to defective flooring in restaurants, clubs and hotels
