Making Accident Compensation Claims Following Holiday Mishaps

You've been looking forward to it for months and the very last thing on your mind

is having an accident or falling ill on your holiday and needing to make an accident compensation claim.

But it does inevitably happen to some unlucky folk each year and means you may well need an expert legal service to ensure that you are not financially inconvenienced.

Your holiday is, when you think about it, as fertile a ground for claims as anywhere else. There is the possibility of an accident doing anything from swimming to taking part in an adventurous activity or even just walking around the hotel. That's not even mentioning the more obvious potential hazard of driving a hire car in unfamiliar surroundings.

Health is no respecter of timing either. You may leave these shores in a fantastic mood, ready to live the dream for a couple of weeks and forget about your toils and woes back home, but sometimes stress catches up with you and you are taken ill on your hols. In addition, it could be a reaction to unhygienic food or health hazards in the hotel complex itself.

The important legal point is whether your holiday is part of a package in which both your hotel and flight were booked together. Providing this is the case you will probably be relieved to know that your injury or accident claim can be dealt with in English courts.

As with any other accident, medical or accident compensation claim, you need to be on the ball from the very beginning. First thing to do is to report the incident to hotel staff and holiday reps, ensure that photographs are taken of the accident scene and that you have a written record of any medical treatment you receive. In the case of an accident, witnesses, if any, could go a long way to boosting your hopes of a successful accident compensation claim.

Don't hesitate to contact specialist holiday injury or accident lawyers where you should be entitled to a free initial interview. The aim of this is to assess whether you have a realistic compensation claim for them to pursue on your behalf.

You should be looking for a company prepared to work on a 'no win, no fee' basis. In all circumstances, you need to remember that it doesn't matter where your accident or illness occurs, providing you are not to blame and meet other criteria, you are entitled to make a compensation claim.
