What Is a Holiday Accident Claim?

You can make a holiday accident compensation claim when you suffer an injury while travelling. Therefore, tour operators, hotels, and resorts must protect your safety during your stay. If they neglect this duty of care, you may then have grounds to claim compensation. Additionally, your rights extend far beyond your hotel. For example, you can file an accident claim if you are injured on transport, at tourist attractions, or in public spaces.

When Can You Make a Overseas Accident Claim?

You should start a overseas accident claim if someone else’s negligence causes your injury. For example, you might have a claim after poor maintenance at a resort, unsafe excursions, or a road accident abroad. Additionally, you can sometimes claim for a breach of local safety laws, not just UK standards. Therefore, always gather evidence such as photos, reports, and witness details as soon as possible. Because time limits vary by country, you must seek advice quickly.

Types of Accidents Covered by a Holiday Accident Claim

A holiday accident compensation claim covers many types of incidents. For example, you might suffer slips, trips, or falls in hotels and resorts. Additionally, you often face road traffic accidents, especially when using hire cars or transfers. Moreover, you can claim for food poisoning, cruise ship accidents, sporting injuries, or even criminal assaults. If faulty equipment, lack of supervision, or poor safety standards caused your injury, then your case may also be eligible.

How Much Compensation Can You Get From a Holiday Accident Claim?

The value of your holiday accident compensation usually depends on your injuries and their impact on your life. Additionally, more serious or long-lasting injuries typically result in higher compensation. Because courts or insurers review pain, suffering, medical expenses, and financial losses, they assess your claim carefully. Sometimes, you may also recover lost earnings or extra travel costs. Therefore, Dawn Solicitors assess your case thoroughly and work to maximise your compensation.
