Holiday injury claims
The annual holiday is one of the single most expensive items in the annual family budget and should be the high point of the year and stress free. However, for some, holidays can be a major low point, particularly if they are disappointed with their holiday destination or they have suffered illness or injury. Every year many holidaymakers return home feeling cheated or with illness or injuries that affect their lives indefinitely. The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 is a law that aims to implement consumer protection in these cases.
Common injuries and illness on holiday
Thousands of people every year suffer injury or illness abroad, some of the most common injuries that may be eligible for compensation include;
- Food poisoning from poor hygiene standards on cruise liners or in hotels such as Norovirus, Norwalk and Salmonella.
- Bacterial infections from poor hygiene and contaminated water including Legionnaires disease, Typhoid and E-coli.
- Slip and trips on defective or wet floors in hotels.
- Accidents on arranged day excursions.
Even if the type of injury or illness you or family members have sustained is not listed above, you may still be able to make a claim for compensation. Contact our dedicated team today to get some further advice.
