Each country is subject to its own laws, but if you have an accident or contract an illness whilst on holiday abroad that was the fault of your UK based tour operator, you might be able to make a claim for compensation and holiday claims legal advice should be sought.
If you are on a package holiday and you are sent to a hotel or resort by your tour operator that has poor facilities or sub-standard service and hygiene, you can seek damages if you suffer an injury or illness because of this.
Sickness can be caused due to food poisoning because of meals not being served warm, prepared properly or becoming contaminated because of poor cleanliness at the hotel.
Holidaymakers travelling abroad from the UK on a package deal are protected by the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tour Regulations Act 1992, which tour operators have to abide by.
People may also be able to get legal advice from professional teams that fight for compensation for holidaymakers if they are involved in a road traffic accident whilst abroad, suffer an injury during travel by air or sea and if an accident has occurred in a public place.
Prevention is better than cure and in many cases, it is hard to prove that you were not to blame yourself if you suffer an accident. The most common misfortunes to befall UK holidaymakers where the blame is hard to prove include:
? Accidents in the water whilst swimming
? Road accidents if you are driving unfamiliar with foreign roads and signs
? Sunstroke because you have been out in the sun too long
? Foot injuries if walking barefoot on beaches and pavements
It is still worth contacting a legal advice team though, whatever the complaint as they will have the expertise to let you know if a claim can be made.
