You can claim compensation for a wide range of holiday accidents, including:
Perhaps the most common. Whether it’s a wet hotel lobby floor or a poorly maintained attraction site, these accidents can result in injuries ranging from minor cuts to severe fractures.
Whether you're in a hire car, taxi or tour bus, unfamiliar terrains, road signs and driving habits can lead to unexpected mishaps.
From pool mishaps to water sports injuries, these accidents can sometimes have severe consequences, especially if safety standards are not followed.
Engaging in adventurous activities can be thrilling, but without the right safety measures, they can lead to unforeseen incidents.
Not strictly an accident in the traditional sense, but consuming contaminated or poorly prepared food can lead to severe health issues.
Beyond the immediate pain and discomfort, holiday accidents can lead to missed flights, extended stays, extra medical bills, and of course, a ruined holiday experience.
Some accidents may have repercussions that last long after the holiday is over. This might include prolonged medical treatments, physiotherapy or even trauma that impacts daily life.
The ripple effect of a holiday accident is profound and affects not just the individual, but their family as well.
We’re here to guide you through the process of making a holiday accident compensation claim. Below is a step-by-step outline to help you understand what to expect when pursuing compensation for injuries sustained during your holiday.
During this initial session, we'll listen to your story and address any questions or concerns you may have. This conversation equips us with an understanding of the key points we need to concentrate on.
Following our initial chat, our legal experts explore the particulars of your situation. We collate and review all pertinent medical records, liaise with medical professionals when required, and evaluate the merits of your claim. Our objective is to establish that the injuries you sustained were a result of negligence during your holiday and to gauge the prospective compensation amount.
We draft a letter of claim addressed to the relevant person or company, outlining the specifics of your claim. We will inform them of the time they have to respond, allowing them to undertake their own investigations and determine whether or not they admit liability.
Upon receiving a reply from the defendant, the negotiation process can begin. Our experts then use their expertise to determine liability and negotiate the best possible compensation for you.
While a substantial number of claims are settled amicably through negotiations, there are occasions when going to court becomes essential. Should your claim require this, rest assured that Switalskis will stand by you, offering guidance and reassurance throughout.
When the claim is successful, compensation will be awarded. This amount is tailored to your specific claim and circumstances, taking into account any financial losses and expenses you incurred.

If the excursion was booked as part of your package holiday, the travel provider could be held liable for any negligence or oversight that led to your injury. It's essential to gather evidence and consult a solicitor experienced in holiday accident claims to guide you through the process.
First, make sure everyone is safe and seek medical attention if needed. Then, report the accident to local authorities and obtain a copy of the police report. It's also advisable to take photographs of the scene, gather witness details, and notify your travel insurance and car rental agency (if applicable). Upon return, seek legal advice on pursuing a claim.
Different international rules and guidance govern accidents at sea and in the air. These rules may have specific time limits and conditions for making a claim. It's important to consult a solicitor familiar with these rules when considering a claim.
Report the accident as soon as possible to the hotel management or your travel representative. Make sure you get a written acknowledgement of your report. If possible, take photos of where the accident happened and keep a record of any contributing factors.
It's usually a good idea to inform your travel insurance about any incidents. Even if you initially believe you won't need to claim, circumstances might change, and you might need their support later on.
Take photographs, obtain copies of medical reports, and keep receipts of any expenses due to the accident. You might also consider using local translation services or ask for assistance from your embassy or consulate.
Gather as much evidence as possible - photographs, witness statements and any correspondence. Consulting a solicitor will also provide you with the best strategy to present your case compellingly.
While immediate medical attention strengthens your claim, you can still pursue compensation if a direct link between the accident and your injuries is established. Documentation and medical records will be vital in such scenarios.
