More than half of the people in the UK are
expected to travel abroad this year and figures show that package holidays are
often a first choice for friends and family alike when considering value for
money and the types of activities, excursions and facilities available.
Whether your holiday is a family holiday, for
relaxation or sporting activities, suffering an illness or an injury while
abroad will often result in the long awaited holiday being brought to a
grinding halt. Accidents abroad can often be difficult as the law relating to
personal injury differs from country to country but if the holiday is booked as
a package holiday, that is to say to include a combination of either flights,
accommodation, transport and transfers and other tourist services, then there
is a level of protection implied which may entitle you to bring a claim for
personal injury and/or death. This protection encompasses a number of different
circumstances, albeit whether the accident occurs on the aeroplane, in the
hotel, on an excursion, or even food poisoning, whereby you may be entitled to
bring a claim.
