How to Claim Compensation for a Bad Holiday

Can I claim compensation for a spoiled holiday?

We all look forward to a holiday, whether it be a summer escape, a weekend break to an unexplored city or a bout of winter sun. Many of us work hard to ensure that we can provide our family with an annual getaway; some of us are even lucky enough to travel abroad more than once a year.

Whatever your idea of a perfect holiday is, the break is something you’ll not only have worked hard to be able to afford, but it’s also something you’ll look forward to in the preceding months leading up to your trip.

Everyone deserves to enjoy their ideal getaway, which is why when things go wrong, you should know who you can turn to for legal advice and support.

Can I claim for being ill on holiday?

Holiday and travel claims cover all causes relating to accidents, injuries and illnesses suffered abroad. Whether you’ve been involved in a road traffic or sporting accident, been injured in public or private transport such as an airplane or cruise ship, or suffered an illness such as food poisoning, it’s likely that you will be entitled to make a claim.
