Accident Abroad
If you have suffered an injury whilst on holiday or business abroad, then you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. Your tour operator, airline or hotel will have a duty to ensure your safety.
If your holiday was booked through a travel agent as part of a package then it is likely that you will be able to bring a claim in the UK against the travel company rather than, for example, having to bring a claim directly against a hotel owner in a foreign country.
Some of the most common types of accidents abroad include:
- Tripping over a defective path in the hotel.
- Food poisoning from the hotel restaurant.
- Sports accident due to poorly maintained or faulty equipment.
- Transport accident.
