Whether we can help or advise depends on the circumstances of your accident abroad as well as a number of other
factors, such as whether you were abroad on a package holiday, or whether you were working abroad when the accident happened.
Package holiday claims
If you were injured abroad, and you were on a package holiday, you may be able to claim from the package provider using The Package
Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations. This important piece of legislation allows you to make a full claim for an
accident abroad against a package provider such as Thomas Cook, Thomson, and Virgin Holidays, to name a few.
As long as your package falls within the definition of a package holiday according to the regulations, you can claim against the
provider right here in the UK.
An accident abroad claim can be brought here in the UK using the Package Tour Regulations in the following circumstances:
- The holiday must be sold as a package;
-
The package must be made up of at least two or more components sold at an all-inclusive price, which can include things like
transport, accommodation, a tourist attraction, or event / excursion;
-
Any injury sustained must be in relation to one of the components of the package - i.e. if the injury occurred at the hotel,
the accommodation must have been inclusive in the package.
The above is the very basic way of understanding whether you may have a claim under these regulations. We can assess this for you by
reviewing any documentation you have, such as booking confirmation emails, to check if the regulations can apply.
