Delivering the compensation you deserve.
holiday accident claims
If you have suffered an injury whilst on a ‘package holiday’ – which you believe was the fault of the hotelier or holiday company – then you may be able to claim compensation, even though the injury happened abroad. By package holiday, we mean one where a British tour operator arranges your accommodation and your transport to and from the airport.
By organising these and other aspects of your holiday, the tour operator is responsible for any injury you suffer whilst participating in their organised activities. Therefore, they may be responsible for an accident which occurs in your accommodation or during transfer. For example, you could have suffered an injury which was not your fault due to shelves or a bed collapsing in your apartment – or you could have been involved in an accident as a result of a careless coach driver whilst on a trip organised by the tour operator.
To make an appointment to see one of our Personal Injury experts, Navdip Gill, Sam Seaford, Anne Maguire, Ann Summerling or Kerry Gibbs please call 01908 689338 (out of office hours – 07825 940007) or contact us.
What our clients say:
“I really appreciated your time and effort in making this settlement possible. It means a lot to me and shows that with determination we can always win. I definitely look forward to work with you again in the near future and will recommend your services to anyone and everyone.”
