If a personal injury or illness is incurred while on holiday abroad and the cause lies with the hotel appointed through a package holiday deal then you could have a case for compensation, so be sure to check with services like Express Solicitors for personal injury lawyers.
A personal injury claim can prove more difficult outside of the UK however, personal injury solicitors such as Express Solicitors have the knowledge to decide whether your claim is of value or not and will pursue the case as is necessary.
For a claim to be valid there must be illness or injury caused through the fault of another party; an example of this could be food poisoning caused by poor hygiene at the hotel. Should this be the case, and if the hotel was booked through a package deal offered by a travel agent then a compensation claim could be made against the travel agency for damages caused physically and/or financially.
Similarly if an accident has occurred on the grounds of the hotel and been caused by some form of negligence or oversight such as uneven paving then a case could be brought against the travel agents.
For a claim to be successful there must be evidence to support that the injury or illness was caused through the fault of the travel agents or the agent’s representatives – namely the hotel staff.
To provide the best case for your claim you should make sure that documentation is filed such as an official complaint made with the hotel and representatives from the agency, if an accident has occurred then this should be noted in the hotel’s paper work and as much evidence as possible to back up your claim should be collected including photographs and witness statements. With the internet it’s easier to submit complaints as it was previously.
Upon your return to the UK, it’s vital to contact solicitors who will let you know if you have a valid claim and, should the evidence exist to support the claim, they will take on your case on a no win no fee basis and ensure that suitable compensation is sought after.
