Thousands of people go on holiday, either in this country or abroad, and return home with happy memories of an enjoyable and relaxing time. For a few, however, their memories will be of a less than happy experience because they suffered a holiday injury or holiday illness through the negligence or lack of care of others.

If you suffered an injury whilst on holiday in this country then your claim for compensation could be handled in the exactly the same way as any other personal injury claim would be. If however, your injury or illness occurred whilst on holiday abroad the rules for making a claim are different.

If your holiday was purchased as a package holiday and included flights and accommodation the Package Travel Regulations which were introduced in 1992 allow a claim to be made in the UK, even if the accident occurred while on holiday abroad.
