Accidents on holiday
Accidents on holiday claims
It is a situation nobody wants to find themselves in – a dream holiday ruined because of an accident. However, accidents can happen anywhere and at any time, and can come in all shapes and sizes. Some of the most common accidents which occur on holiday can include;
If you have sustained an injury or illness that wasn’t your fault whilst on holiday, you may be able to claim compensation. Whether you are hurt on a package holiday or on a trip abroad where you’ve arranged everything yourself, you could have grounds to claim against the party you believe is liable for ruining your holiday.
This is where we come in.
At Watermans, our expert legal team can advise you on whether or not you have a solid claim, and if your case can be dealt with in Scotland. We take care of all the legal stuff, and provide you with straightforward legal advice on what steps to take in seeking the reparations you deserve.
Making a claim
How do I make an accident on holiday claim?
We understand that making a claim for compensation for any reason can be a daunting task, and even more so if the person or company you want to claim against is based in another country. It is important to note that whilst in Scotland a three year time limit applies to making a claim, this may not be the case in the country where your accident on holiday occurred, so begin your claims process as soon as you can to increase your chance of being successful.
Depending on the type of accident, you may have suffered physically as well as emotionally. If you were injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, it is most likely the duration of your holiday was ruined, and that the trip back to Scotland was made more difficult.
Speak to one of our specialist solicitors today. We can help you to formulate your claim, and take the hassle out of the legal stuff. Plus, we operate on a no win no fee basis, meaning that if we don’t succeed in winning your case, you don’t have to pay any solicitors fees.
It should be that simple.
