We spend all year looking forward to our summer holiday, so for it to be ruined by an accident, illness or injury can come as a double blow. When we are on holiday we can have a false sense of safety that can result in an accident, even so, often these accidents happen through no fault of our own.

The situation can be made worse if you have traveled somewhere further afield or with poor quality health care facilities, before traveling to these kind of destinations we suggest you seek suitable travel advice.
Wherever you plan to travel we would recommend that you consider travel health and travel planning before you make a booking.

Until recently, if you had an accident and were injured abroad you would have to pursue a holiday accident claim in the country it happened in, which was often a very expensive, off-putting and difficult process. However, since the introduction of The Package Travel, Package Holiday and Package Tour Regulations 1992 and the 4th EU Motor Directive 2003, it has become possible for many people to claim compensation through the English Courts.

Every year thousands of UK citizens are injured or suffer illness abroad in a whole variety of circumstances:

  • Road Accidents Abroad
  • Slips, Trips & Falls Overseas
  • Accidents on Package Holidays
  • Watersports (Jet Ski, Banana Boats etc’) and Sporting Accidents
  • Food Poisoning and Sickness
  • Hotel Complex Accidents and Injury
  • Illnesses (Legionnaire’s Disease for example)
  • Hotel Room Accidents
  • Skiing and Snowboarding Accidents and Injuries
  • Cruise Ship Accidents

We have made successful compensation claims for all kinds of accidents and injuries that have happened overseas and the process of making a claim isn’t as daunting as you may think.

If you have been injured or taken ill on holiday through no fault of your own, you should strongly consider making a holiday compensation claim.

We can help you obtain compensation for the pain, suffering and rehabilitation of the personal injury as well as loss of enjoyment of the holiday.
