Holiday Illness and Accident Claims
Your holiday should be a time to relax, not recover from illness or injury. Unfortunately, poor standards, unsafe environments or negligent tour operators can lead to serious disruption and long-term consequences. 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.
At Ask Legal Solicitors, we help people who have suffered abroad or in the UK due to poor hygiene, unsafe hotel conditions, or preventable accidents. We are here to ensure your case is handled properly and that you receive the compensation you are entitled to.
What incidents can you claim for?
- Food poisoning due to 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
Can I claim if the holiday was abroad?
Yes. If you booked a package holiday with a UK tour operator, they are responsible for ensuring your safety throughout the trip. This includes accommodation, transport and excursions. Even if the incident occurred overseas, claims can often be made under UK law.
What can compensation cover?
- Medical bills and treatment abroad or at home
- Loss of enjoyment or disruption to your trip
- Ongoing illness, infections or complications
- Lost earnings if you were unable to return to work
- Out-of-pocket expenses such as flight changes or cancelled plans
Time limits for claiming
You usually have three years to bring a claim, but for international holiday claims this can be shorter. Acting quickly is essential so that evidence, reports and witness accounts can be gathered while still fresh.
No Win, No Fee
We handle all holiday illness and accident claims on a no-win, no-fee basis. There are no upfront legal costs. If your claim succeeds, our fee is capped and transparent so you keep the majority of your compensation.
