Have you or a member of your family ever: – Become ill due to the poor quality of the food or unhygienic conditions in your Hotel or Cruise Ship? – Been involved in a accident that wasn’t your fault that you sustained at your hotel accommodation / hotel complex or cruise ship? – Been injured at your hotel or in a road traffic accident, coach crash, boating or other accident abroad? If the answer is ‘Yes’ to any of the above then you may be entitled to claim compensation from your holiday company or tour operator. If you booked a package holiday then the tour operator has legal duties relating to all of the services that you booked as part of your holiday including: – Aspects of the hotel accommodation, such as food and hotel facilities – Air travel – Cruises – Coach or car transfers – Excursions that were booked as part of the travel package What actions can you take to help assist with your claim? – Firstly, if you have suffered illness, seek appropriate medical attention both abroad and upon your return. If you have suffered illness, make sure you are tested for the presence of infection. – If your complaint arises from your stay at a hotel or from other services which are part of a package holiday, make your holiday rep aware of any complaint immediately. Record all aspects of your complaints on a written customer complaint form…and keep a copy. – If relevant, speak to other unhappy holidaymakers and exchange information and contact details. Take photographic and video evidence of the matters you are complaining about. – Do not accept compensation payments on the spot and without the benefit of legal advice. Do not sign any document, which waives your right to pursue the complaint further. – On return home, if your claim arises from a package holiday make a written complaint to the tour operator within 28 days. – If you have been involved in a road traffic accident, report the accident to the local police – Consult a Solicitor specialising in personal injury claims arising abroad. Even if you have not followed the above advice, it may still be possible to successfully pursue a claim for compensation. There are a variety of claims for compensation which you may be entitled to. These include: – The loss of enjoyment of your holiday – Diminution in value of your holiday – Reasonable expenses not recoverable from your travel insurers. – If you were injured or ill you can also claim compensation for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity and associated losses such as past and future loss of earnings, the cost of care and assistance, medical expenses etc. For free initial advice please call IM’s ITLG on 0870 1500 100 or for further information about our services, including case studies of some actual ITLG clients click here or visit Irwin Mitchell, illness and accidents abroad "Irwin Mitchell is pleased to support the aims and objectives of RealHolidayReports.com and make payment in support of the organisation and publicity that it receives" |
