Package holidays and accident compensation

Generally speaking, holidays are enjoyable occasions that create happy memories for millions of people. However, each year a number of Britons suffer injuries whilst on vacation and it can be difficult to know how to make accident claims if the incident was caused through someone else's fault.

If you've injured yourself whilst on a package holiday, there is a legal set of regulations that have been in place since the early 1990s to help you claim accident compensation.

A package holiday is classed as a trip in which you purchase two items out of transport, accommodation or an excursion/activity together from the same company or operator. In 1992 the Package Travel, Package Holiday and Package Tour regulations were introduced to help holidaymakers make injury claims against that UK tour operator in the event of an accident.

It is a much more straightforward process to claim accident compensation against a British tour operator than launching compensation cases against foreign organisations. Claiming at home can also mean that you receive a greater financial payout than if you are an independent traveller seeking monetary and moral justice against an overseas party.

Whether it's a trip on a poorly maintained hotel floor surface, a severe case of food poisoning from a substandard restaurant in your place of accommodation, or a muscle or bone injury from an organised sports activity, at Claims Solicitors we can help you claim the financial compensation you deserve.

Although compensation cases are a lot more straightforward in the UK, your chances of receiving the maximum amount you are entitled to is much stronger with professional accident solicitors offering you support. We have a team of expert professionals with extensive experience in dealing with holiday injuries, who will guide you through the process step by step in hope of maintaining a financial payout in lieu of your pain and discomfort.
