How you might be affected by an accident on a package holiday

When you suffer an accident on holiday, at best your package holiday will feel tarnished. The inconvenience that can follow as a result of a slip or trip on holiday can be incredibly stressful. You might have to arrange additional flights to ensure you can receive prompt treatment back home, and you will likely need to consult your insurance company which can throw up further complications. There are financial considerations to take into account too; the cost of paying for treatment at the local hospital, for prescriptions or recovery aids.
Dependant on the extent of your injury, your recovery time could be extensive. This might mean then rest of your holiday is ruined. You may need time away from work once you get back home, and there could be additional costs associated with physiotherapy or other treatments.
In some case, the trauma of an accident on holiday can be wide reaching. For those who have suffered a very serious injury, or who have lost a family member following a fatal accident; it can be a nightmare scenario. At this most difficult of times, our experienced travel litigation team will take the burden of the claim process off your shoulders, so you can focus on recovery.
