Overseas Accidents and Illness
If your holiday is ruined by falling over a
loose paving slab by the pool and breaking your arm, do you decide
to try a different hotel the following year or do you want to take
action to recover compensation for the pain and suffering and also
the spoiled holiday?
Overseas accidents and illness compensation
Have
you had an illness on your holiday?
When you have saved up for the best
part of a year for your annual fortnight’s holiday in the sun only
for it to be spoilt by the food from the hotel’s "gourmet
restaurant" giving you food poisoning do you accept the £30
vouchers offered by the tour operator or do you feel like taking
the matter further?
Are you simply put off by the fact
that you do not want to get involved in protracted litigation in a
foreign country against a large corporation with seemingly
unlimited funds? Are you afraid of how much it is likely to cost to
take the dispute to court?
Help is at hand with the Hugh James
Holiday Claims Team. We can help you to navigate your way around
the obstacles that the tour operator may put in your path.
We offer a FREE first
interview and, if we think you have a claim worth pursuing then we
will consider taking it on under a "no win-no fee" agreement or
under any legal expenses insurance that you have.
