Accidents and illness on holiday claims
Cleaver Thompson Solicitors in Alfreton and Clay Cross are experts in handling claims due to accidents and illness whilst on holiday.
Claim compensation
You could be eligible to claim compensation if you suffer an injury whilst you were on holiday and it wasn’t your fault, even if you were overseas.
A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT
A holiday is a significant investment in time, energy, and planning, as well as money - especially if we travel abroad. After so much anticipation and excitement it is especially disappointing to suffer an injury that ruins your holiday, and it’s even more traumatic if the injury was caused by someone else’s negligence or carelessness. Whether you were injured in a pool, suffered food poisoning or in a car accident, you may be able to make a claim for compensation.
Important steps
If you or a member of your family has been injured or has fallen ill when you were on holiday, it’s important to take the following steps:
​
-
Get medical advice immediately
-
If you are on a package holiday, notify your tour operator
-
If you are involved in an accident, ensure it is reported
-
Check your holiday insurance terms and conditions
-
Contact a firm of solicitors that has an excellent track record and an enviable reputation to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve
Proof of negligence
In order for a holiday accident claim to be successful, you need to be able to prove that the organisation or person you are claiming against had a legal obligation to ensure the environment or activity you were engaged in was safe. You also need to show that they were negligent in that duty, and that your illness or injury was caused as a direct result of that negligence. This may be complicated by differing safety standards abroad, but an experienced solicitor will be able to navigate this on your behalf.
