Accidents Abroad
When an accident occurs abroad, there is still the potential to make a successful claim depending on the circumstances in which the accident happened. If you are working abroad for an employer with a UK registered business then compensation can be sought in the usual way that any accident at work would be dealt with in the UK. If you are injured whilst on holiday through no fault of your own then it may be possible to successfully claim against the travel agent the holiday was booked through. If the accident occurred in the hotel grounds or was the fault of one of the travel agent’s representatives such as the hotel staff then there are grounds for compensation and legal advice should be sought.
Accidents and Illness Abroad?
If you are abroad and have travelled independently and yet are involved in an accident such as a car crash, then compensation could still be successfully claimed. Evidence is crucial in this scenario and it is very important that you seek medical attention immediately following the accident. This can be a requirement in some countries if a claim is to be made and making a claim could prove too difficult without it. The best course of action if you were involved in an accident abroad that wasn’t your fault, or suffered an illness due to someone else’s negligence whilst abroad is to talk to a personal injury specialist who will able to provide information and advice on what to do.
Holiday Accident Compensation
If you are abroad and experience an accident of some kind, a claim against the holiday company can be made if the holiday was a package deal booked through a UK based travel agent and the accident was the fault of the travel agent itself or a representative. For example, you cannot make a claim if you trip in a supermarket in the centre of town, however you could successful apply for compensation if a loose tile from the roof of the hotel falls on you. If you are injured whilst on an independently booked activity such as diving when on holiday, the travel agent or holiday company are not liable although it is still worthwhile talking to holiday accident claims specialist as there may be alternative options available.
