Had an accident abroad? Claim on your holiday from hell

You don't expect to go on holiday and come back with a serious injury.   Unfortunately it can and does happen.  Every year at Ralli, we deal with people who have been injured on holiday.  Close to one of the busiest airports in the UK, we are Manchester solicitors who have substantial experience in acting for clients injured on holiday.

Importantly, for those who suffer an injury on holiday abroad, there is a remedy.

Tour operators can be pursued in the UK for compensation for personal injury and other associated losses provided the holiday was a package holiday. The package usually includes transport and accommodation and would normally be purchased from a tour operator in the UK.

Bringing a claim against a tour operator in the UK is easier than bringing a legal action in the country where the accident, injury or illness occurred.

Tour operators may typically be liable for:

• accidents on excursions such as scuba diving excursions where insufficient safety equipment was provided
• food poisoning 
• slips/trips in accommodation, including slips around the pool side
• Injury caused by dangerous swimming areas

Even if an individual suffers injury abroad whilst not on a package holiday, claims can in certain circumstances, be brought in the UK courts for appropriate compensation.

If you have suffered an injury abroad please click here to contact us online or call Ralli on 0161 832 6131 to see if we can help you recover your losses.
