The End Of The Holiday Season
Wed 31st Aug 11 - 16:12
We're nearing the end of one of the most busiest holiday periods and hopefully you will have had some fantastic memories. However, not all holidays run smoothly and unfortunately accidents can happen all too easily both abroad and in the UK. Some of the most common holiday claims include:
-
Road accidents abroad (particularly motorcycle, scooter accidents and coach accidents)
-
Illness and accidents on cruise ships
-
Unsafe villas, hotel or caravan park accommodation
-
Airport accidents
-
Trips and slips
-
Holiday illness and sickness (including food poisoning)
-
Accidents whilst on excursions, trips and water sports accidents.
An accident or illness in a foreign country can be particularly traumatic and stressful. However there are some regulations that try to make the process simpler, including the 1992 Package Holiday Regulations which helps package holiday victims claim compensation in the UK.
Claiming compensation after an accident aboard can be complex due to the law in different countries and it will depend on whether it was a package holiday or booked independently. Make sure you know your rights and if you have been unfortunate to suffer injury or illness whilst on holiday, contact an experienced holiday accident lawyer who will be able to advise you on whether you have a compensation claim.
