Millions of people go abroad each year, either on holiday or to work. Unfortunately, a percentage of those people suffer personal injury while away.
Have you suffered a personal injury abroad?
Tour operators are legally obliged to ensure their customers are safe and are not exposed to bad hygiene, risk of injury, disease or infection. If you have suffered an injury abroad, on a holiday organised by a tour operator, you can pursue a claim for compensation against that operator through the courts of England and Wales.
You may have been involved in a road traffic accident or been hurt either on a plane or a cruise, have contracted a bacterial infection from poorly stored food or experienced negligent medical treatment in a foreign hospital. Whether you were holidaying or working abroad, we have a dedicated team of solicitors who can help make an accident or illness claim on your behalf.
Rogers & Norton are experienced in advising victims on their right to pursue a personal injury claim wherever the incident may have occurred. While most of our claims are made against tour operators in England and Wales, we are also able to proceed against the negligent party in a foreign country.
Holiday claims can include the following:
- Injury arising from the facilities at a hotel
- Injury sustained on an excursion
- Injury suffered in a road traffic accident while abroad
- Illness suffered as a consequence of poor standards of hygiene, such as food poisoning or water pollution
- Injury sustained as a result of defects in the structure of a hotel, such as slippery floors and trip hazards
