HOLIDAY ACCIDENT COMPENSATION CLAIMS

In an attempt to cut down on the number of recent frivolous travel-related lawsuits, holiday accident compensation claims now require a much more substantial burden of proof in order for victims to receive compensation. It is imperative that you retain the services of a qualified solicitor to advise you if you feel you may be entitled to damages, as laws and regulations surrounding foreign and holiday travel can often be complex and may involve time constraints.

Holiday accident claims can arise from a variety of situations, from individual slip and fall claims to group cases of food poisoning. If you feel that either you or a group you were a part of may have suffered damage as a result of a serious contract breach on the part of the holiday company, you may be entitled to compensatory damages, either as an individual or as part of the afflicted group. These group actions are known as “multi-party actions,” and provide the convenience of allowing all claims to be settled at once.

The Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 require “reasonable standards” when it comes to holiday accommodation and require their descriptions in brochures and advertisements to be accurate. These regulations cover most holiday businesses and workers, including travel agents and guarantee that travel companies are responsible in the event of the bankruptcy or dissolution of a third party.
