”Our client sustained personal injuries whilst on holiday in the Caribbean. On the second last day of his holiday when in his hotel room he slipped and fell on some water on the floor caused by a leaking pipe in the ceiling. He completed the Accident Report Book and attended with the on-site nurse where first aid was administered and he was found to have sustained an injury to his leg.
As the client’s holiday fell within the definition of a Package Holiday under Regulation 2 of the Package Travel Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992, we advised our client that his losses could be recovered against the UK Tour Operator. We obtained medical evidence in relation to his injuries and he was found to have sustained a soft tissue injury to his leg which impacted on his hobby of attending the gym. After receiving no response to our letter of claim we issued proceedings against the Tour Operator and took the matter to hearing.
After not engaging with us during the course of the case on the morning of trial the Tour Operator eventually admitted liability for our client’s injuries and his case settled in the sum of £6250 plus costs.

While holidays are a time to relax and rejuvenate it’s important to know your rights, and what to do, if you are unfortunate to be involved in an accident that is not your fault while away.
If you have booked a package holiday (your hotel and flights together) and have been injured because of a mistake by your hotel, for instance if you have slipped, or contracted food poisoning, you may have a right to claim at home where your contract was formed between you and your tour operator. Claims such as these apply worldwide.
