Accidents and Illness Abroad

If you have an accident on holiday, suffer an injury or develop an illness, which is someone else's fault, then you may be able to make a claim.

We are frequently able to make successful claims if there is fault on someone else's part, if your claim arises from a package holiday, or your claim is against a UK owned company e.g. a chain of hotels, a travel agency or a cruise company.

Most typical types of claim are based on package holidays or cruises arising from a) falls on hotel premises, coaches or cruise liners due to defective premises; b) illness or infection arising from food prepared or eaten within the accommodation supplied to you due to the food being improperly prepared; or c) illness or infection, eg Legionnaire's disease, arising from a lack of hygiene or defective air conditioning or premises.

What do You do if You Have Suffered an Accident or Illness on Holiday?

• If possible, report the accident, or holiday illness to the staff or travel representative.
• Make sure that the accident is entered in the Accident Book.
• Take names and addresses and phone numbers of people who have witnessed the accident and if possible take photographs/video film relating to the circumstances of the accident.
• Seek medical help.
• Keep a record of all the expenses that you incur as a consequence of your misfortune.
