Holiday Claims

Accidents and illness on holiday can cause immense stress and strain to those involved. When on holiday abroad they can be particularly inconvenient, involving medical treatment in an unfamiliar country. When such accidents happen, the holiday can easily be ruined for everyone involved.

If you have sustained injuries when on a package holiday, contact us on 0800 980 9390 about making a holiday accident claim. Our clients always keep 100% of the compensation awarded to them. We deal with all holiday accident claims on a no win, no fee basis, meaning that our services are completely free to you.

Expert legal advice:

Our team of specialist lawyers act for clients who have suffered illness or injury in a package holiday. With extensive experience in dealing with a wide variety of holiday accident claims, from food poisoning to slips and trips, our knowledge of the complex legal issues associated with holiday accidents is second to none.

Holiday insurance companies may offer money or vouchers by way of apology for your accident; we recognise, however, that this is often insufficient to cover the full costs of your accident and will not take into account your individual needs.  We will fight for compensation to cover all aspects of your recovery, ensuring that you receive the settlement you deserve.

Exceptional client care:

Our reputation for success and approach to client care means that the majority of our clients come to us through personal recommendation, something we are extremely proud of.

Taking care of our clients is at the heart of what we do, which is why we examine each holiday accident case from every possible angle and identify where compensation will be needed to help your recovery. We seek compensation not only for any immediate medical treatment required, but also for on-going rehabilitation treatments where necessary. Compensation from your holiday accident claim can also help with any financial difficulties you may experience as a result of your accident; you can then focus on making a full recovery without the worry of paying the bills.

We pride ourselves on providing each client with a personal, one to one service that is completely tailored to your individual needs. With constant investments in modern technology, we can communicate in the way that suits you the best, making your claim as hassle-free as possible.

People put off claiming compensation for tinnitus due to long term effects
People put off claiming compensation for tinnitus due to long term effects

Compensation for tinnitus should be made by anybody who feels like they are suffering tinnitus from any spell of employment which did not follow the standard health and safety regulations for their employees. Often, people are put off from making a claim because they feel that the initial damage happened so long ago, that their claim will not stand up suitably. This is the wrong attitude, as not matter how long ago the initial damage was done to the ear drums, an individual may still make a claim.

Compensation for food poisoning soars as more restaurants begin to cut corners
Compensation for food poisoning soars as more restaurants begin to cut corners

UK cities are seeing a rise claims for compensation for food poisoning as restaurants begin to see a greater need for an increase in profits. This is in turn seeing restaurants, both fast food and sit down establishments, trying to prepare food at a faster speed in order to allow more customers to enter their shops.

This is leading to many establishments cutting corners in vital areas of food preparation. This may involve certain foods being undercooked, not being defrosted properly and other mistakes. Fast food restaurants are particularly to blame for this rise in compensation claims, as they are constantly striving for a quicker ‘turn over’ time, especially in busy periods such as lunch time and late afternoons.

64 holiday claims after salmonella poisoning at Costa del Sol hotel

Concerns have been raised about the safety of a hotel in a Spanish resort after a number of guests were struck down by food poisoning whilst on holiday, including eight members of the same family. Guests reported that there were poor hygiene standards and the buffet was often not heated through and was open to the elements and passing birds. Many of the guests suffered from food poisoning. Some cases were so severe that they required hospitalisation. A group of 64 people are now putting in a claim for compensation, saying the holiday company should not have advertised a resort known to have problems of this kind.
