Injury Treatment Abroad

If you have an accident on holiday, an injury on holiday or develop an illness on holiday, which was not your fault, then you may need injury treatment abroad. If your holiday was within the United Kingdom, your holiday injury treatment abroad could be dealt with in the same way as any other personal injury treatment abroad; however, if you were abroad at the time, certain other rules apply.

For example, a personal injury solicitor in the United Kingdom would only be able to deal with a personal injury compensation claim for an accident, injury or illness which occurred abroad if the holiday was booked as part of a package deal through a travel agent in the United Kingdom. In addition to this, your holiday accident, holiday injury or holiday illness would need to be the fault of the travel agent or their representatives such as the hotel staff.

If your holiday accident or holiday injury was caused due to a badly maintained section of walkway in the hotel grounds you would be entitled to make a holiday injury compensation claim using a solicitor based in the United Kingdom.
