Holiday Accident Claims

When we go on holiday abroad we do so to relax and to have a break from the routine of our daily life; sadly however many people spend what should be a well earned break being injured or ill due to low safety and food hygiene standards.

Up until recently if you were injured or became ill whilst on holiday outside of the UK you would have to make an accident compensation claim within the country you were injured in; however thanks to the introduction of the Package Travel, Package Holiday and Package Tour Regulations in 1992 and the 4th EU Motor Directive in 2003 it has become possible for people to claim compensation through UK courts after an accident abroad.

To many people the reason as to why many Brits are injured are killed whilst on holiday is due to contracting a disease; however road traffic accidents and drowning are the most common injuries that Brits suffer whilst abroad.

When we are on holiday we never think of the possibility of becoming involved in a holiday accident even though every year thousands of us suffer personal injury resulting from accidents such as:

• Road traffic accidents
• Slips, trips and falls
• Waters sport accidents
• Food poisoning
• Hotel accidents
• Boating/cruise ship accidents
• Skiing accidents

Tour operators are under obligation to ensure that customer’s accommodation is safe and hygienic and that holiday makers are not exposed to any risk of infection or disease, failure to do so could result in a compensation claim being brought against them.
