Holiday illness and accident claims

Your holiday should be a time to relax, not recover from illness or injury. If poor standards, unsafe environments or negligence disrupted your trip, you may be entitled to claim compensation. We help people who have suffered abroad or in the UK due to poor hygiene, unsafe hotel conditions, or preventable accidents.

  • Food poisoning from unhygienic preparation
  • Slips, trips or falls on hotel premises
  • Injuries on poorly maintained excursions
  • Accidents during airport transfers or taxis
  • Infections or outbreaks on cruise holidays
  • Negligent medical care during your trip
Time limits matter: You usually have three years to bring a claim, but international holiday claims can be shorter. If you booked a package holiday with a UK tour operator, claims can often be made under UK law even if the incident happened abroad.

Our approach to holiday illness and accident claims

If your health was compromised while travelling due to someone else’s failure in duty of care, you may be entitled to make a claim. We ensure your case is handled properly, advise you clearly at every stage, and work to secure the compensation you deserve.
