What You Didn’t Know About Holiday Travel Claims

April 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Whenever you wish to make a legal claim, whether the incident in question happened at home or overseas, ensure that you file your claim through a reputable firm of solicitors who are members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.

As one of the UK’s leading specialist personal injury firms, Fentons Solicitors has been established for more than 80 years and has a highly experienced department dedicated to resolving travel and holiday compensation and accident claims. This department has successfully followed up claims across Europe, including the popular holiday destinations of Spain, France and Italy, and also in North and South America and Australia.

Fentons’ specialists possess foreign legal expertise to ensure that each claim is handled in an insightful, knowledgeable and expedient manner. Examples of claimable incidents include personal injuries and accidents arising from sporting activities or excursions while on holiday (typically road traffic accidents), and negligence of a hotel, tour operator or holiday company regarding issues such as substandard hygiene (including food poisoning) and uneven, wet, obstructive or excessively slippery flooring resulting in trips and falls.

While travelling or staying abroad (as within the UK), holidaymakers should expect certain safeguards and regulations to be in place for their own protection. Tour operators and other service providers have a duty of care to their customers, and if they are found to have fallen short of their requirements, legal action can be taken. If you have experienced an accident or other unexpected setback (such as exposure to infection) while on holiday, and think you may be entitled to compensation, you can contact Fentons for a free no-obligation review of your particular case. This can be done online, via email or on the phone.

If you just have returned from a disastrous holiday that was ruined by injury, infection or preventable illness, Fentons will take your details, process your claim and make contact with the other involved parties, wherever they are in the world. In the event that your claim is not successful, you will not be charged due to Fentons comprehensive “no win no fee” service. The more evidence you manage to retain to support your case (e.g., accident report/log book, medical documentation, receipts, photographs, witness statements), the better the chances of your solicitor securing your claim and winning you your rightful compensation.
