Accident Abroad & Holiday Injury or Holiday Illness Compensation

Do you require a solicitor to help you claim for a holiday injury following an accident abroad or have you suffered an illness whilst overseas? If so, then contact PSR Solicitors, we can help you.

Every year, thousands of holidaymakers are taken ill or are injured in accidents whilst on vacation abroad. It could be that you injured your back as a result of a slip on a wet hotel lobby floor, or that you required stitches after catching your leg on a piece of damaged furniture in your room; whatever the nature of your injuries, if the accident was caused by the negligence of somebody else, then chances are you will be able to make a claim for compensation.

Accidents and illnesses abroad can often be traumatic, and your injury or illness will more than likely have ruined your holiday. Depending on the nature and severity of your injuries, you could still be experiencing pain and suffering on your return home, restricting your ability to return to work and resulting in mounting loss of earnings, adding further stress to your situation.

If you or a loved one have been injured whilst overseas or have suffered illness or food poisoning on holiday, PSR Solicitors’ specialist holiday injury solicitors can help you claim the compensation you and your family are entitled to. We will help with every aspect of your holiday accident claim, from assisting you with securing the compensation you deserve and helping you recover your lost earnings and injury-related costs, to arranging specialist medical treatment and rehabilitative care to assist in your recovery.

Pursuing compensation for your holiday accident claim is not something you have to do on your own, you need the expertise and advice of specialists, you need PSR Solicitors.

About Holiday Accident Injury Claims

Accidents abroad can often be more harrowing than those that occur at home. You may not know the language and will more than likely be unfamiliar with how the country’s healthcare system works, adding additional stress to an already traumatic situation. In addition, your injury may require you to stay in the hospital or result in you needing to rest and recuperate in your hotel room, ruining a much anticipated holiday.

The ease with which you are able to make a holiday accident claim depends on how you booked your holiday. If you booked your flights, accommodation, and any excursions directly yourself, or if you booked your trip through an unlicensed travel company, then any claim will need to be made in the country where the accident occurred, adding to the complexity and cost of your claim, whilst also decreasing your chances of success. However, if you have booked a package holiday with the appropriate ABTA & ATOL protections or similar, then you can pursue your compensation claim against the tour operator once back in the UK, with a far greater prospect of making a successful claim.

Our experienced solicitors can help you with a wide range of holiday accident and holiday illness claims, including:

Swimming pool accidents
Slipping accidents on wet tiles
Damaged furniture
Unsafe stairs
Water slide injuries
Food poisoning
Accidents at the airport
Accidents on a plane
Accidents on a boat

Claiming compensation as a foreign traveller holidaying in England and Wales

If you are an overseas traveller who has decided to take a holiday in England or Wales and have suffered an accident or illness during your stay, then you could be entitled to make a compensation claim.

Whether you have suffered an injury in a car accident that was not your fault, sustained injury in a slip or trip in a public place or been taken ill following a meal in your hotel; the fact that you reside in a different country does not need to prevent you from utilising PSR Solicitors’ services.

So, if you are a guest from overseas and feel that you have a legitimate compensation claim for your holiday accident or illness, call PSR Solicitors for free impartial legal advice.

What are the most common forms of holiday accident?

Whether you are taking a much needed holiday or are overseas working, illnesses and accidents are just as likely to happen on foreign shores as they are in the UK.

Whist some accidents are just that, accidents, others are caused by the negligent or reckless actions of others, entitling you to pursue compensation. Some of the most common types of holiday accidents PSR Solicitors’ Personal Injury Solicitors deal with include:

Slips trip and falls are commonplace on holiday, especially around the hotel pool, where wet floors pose a slipping risk to guests. Other areas, such as the lobby and the bar area, can also pose a slipping risk, as guests who have used the pool walk around the hotel dripping water on the floor. Slips and trips on stairs and falls from balconies are unfortunately fairly common accidents that befall people on holiday.

If you have sustained an injury due to a slip, trip or fall while on holiday and feel that somebody else’s actions are to blame for your injuries, call PSR Solicitors and for a free, no-obligation assessment of your holiday accident claim.

PSR Solicitors’ team of personal injury solicitors are experts in helping victims of road traffic accidents abroad secure the compensation and assistance they deserve. Whether you were injured whilst a passenger or driver of a hire car, were struck as a pedestrian or were a passenger on a coach or bus that crashed; if the accident was the fault of somebody else, then you are entitled to pursue compensation for your injuries.

Some people enjoy the relaxation offered by a leisurely cruise, others may book a short boat trip or hire a boat whilst on holiday; whatever the circumstances, if your journey results in some form of accident that causes you or a loved one injury, then you could be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.

Whether you are a passenger on a cruise, a guest on an all-inclusive package holiday or have booked a half-board hotel; tour operators have a responsibility to their customers to ensure that their partners and excursion providers follow food safety standards. If you have suffered illness or food poisoning at one of these establishments, then contact PSR Solicitors today for free impartial legal advice. We'll listen to the details of your incident and let you know if we think you have a claim.

Whilst on holiday many of us like to try new sporting activities such as scuba diving, water skiing or surfing. When we do so we entrust that the company running the activity offers suitable training, provides the appropriate safety equipment, and ensures that the level of risk is appropriate for our experience and abilities. Sadly, this is not always the case and sometimes accidents happen, causing injury to customers. If you have suffered such an injury due to lack of appropriate training, lack of safety equipment, faulty hire equipment or inadequate risk management, then you have grounds to claim compensation for your injuries.
