Accidents on holiday and abroad

If you have suffered an illness abroad or had an accident or injury on holiday you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

If your holiday was booked as part of a package your tour operator is bound by “The Package Travel Regulations” to ensure they deliver the highest level of safety to you and your family. These Regulations are a complex piece of law which ensure that if you do suffer an accident or illness abroad not only can you claim compensation from your tour operator but you can do so in the UK courts.

Where your holiday was not booked as part of a package it still may be possible to make a claim in the UK. In recent years developing European legislation has increased the possibility of obtaining compensation for foreign accidents through the courts of the country in which the victim lives. Members of the Smith Jones team have successfully recovered damages for injuries sustained in France, Italy, Spain, Sweden and even Zaire. Our professional solicitors are experienced in these cases and will utilise every aspect of their expertise to recover the maximum compensation for your injury.

If you have a question regarding an accident or illness suffered whilst abroad then you can contact us now. If you’re not sure whether you can make a claim then you can phone our free helpline number 0800 195 95 90 and we will help you work out what to do next.
