If you have suffered an accident or illness whilst on holiday or business that was not the fault of your own, you may be eligible for making holiday compensation claims to cover the cost of any pain and suffering experienced or for and loss or damages incurred.
Tour operators, airlines and hotel staff have a duty of care to holidaymakers, to make sure their safety is protected and they experience a clean and hygienic environment. If a holiday was booked through a travel agent as part of a package holiday, then it is likely that a compensation claim can be brought against them in the UK, rather than a foreign hotel or resort owner.
It is also the case that if someone is injured in a road traffic accident abroad, a claim can still be made in their own country even if the foreign driver is uninsured.
Claims for compensation if you have an accident abroad will cover any illness and injuries suffered, loss of enjoyment for you or your family, help with medication costs and loss of income if you need to take time off work on your return.
The most common things to affect a UK holidaymaker's trip abroad include:
? Tripping or falling whilst walking on a path or pavement
? Slipping on a wet floor of a hotel or beside a swimming pool
? Food poisoning from hotel food because of poor hygiene or cooking standards
? A road accident whilst driving a rental car or motorbike
? A traffic accident as a passenger in a car, coach, taxi or as a pedestrian
? Sustaining an injury whilst on a day trip
? Sports accident because of faulty equipment or poor supervision
A trained team of legal experts will be able to fight your case to get you the compensation you deserve. So if you have been the victim of an accident or illness, seek legal advice as soon as you return home.
