Travel and tourism is now one of the largest industries in the UK. As more and more people travel on holiday the numbers of those injured or ill abroad is rising. Tour operators must show a duty of care to their customers, ensuring that accommodation is safe and clean and that the customer is not exposed to risk of injury, disease or infection.

If you have suffered illness as a result of bad food, water, poor hygiene or been involved in an injury during your holiday you could be entitled to compensation.

Did you suffer an illness or injury on a package holiday?
When you purchase a package holiday, your tour operator automatically has a duty of care towards you and is responsible for giving you what they have promised. The 1992 Package Travel Regulations has been introduced to protect those on holiday abroad and allows for claims to be brought in the UK rather than in a foreign country.

Have you been injured while travelling on your holiday?
Rail companies, airlines and ferry companies must all adhere to international regulations and laws by offering good standards of service and high safety levels.

If any of these applies to you or if you would like advice on injury claims abroad, contact us now.

You can claim for:


• Pain and inconvenience of injury.

Remember: Don't ever travel abroad without insurance!

Important Notice

From January 2006, Health Insurance cards replaced the E111 forms (giving cover for medical treatment on the Continent).

Not carrying one could make your travel insurance invalid.

It entitles the holder to free or subsidised "essential medical treatment" in all EU countries, as well as Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Keep all doctors', chemists' and hospital bills to support your claim.
