Package Holiday Accident Claims
If you have been injured whilst on a package holiday, we’ll guide you through every step of making a claim against your tour operator.
These cases can be complicated and you need expert help to guide you. Special regulations which apply to package holidays mean that any claims can be pursued in the UK. Sometimes however, tour operators will try to sidestep the regulations by selling certain aspects of a holiday as ‘separates’. However, if you have booked any two aspects of your trip via one tour operator, such as the transport, accommodation or, for example, resort transfers, this counts as a ‘package’.
If your break was not a package holiday, or you have been injured on an excursion it may be more difficult to make a claim and you will need top quality advice so call us now.
Air Travel Accidents
If you’ve been injured at an airport, or during a flight, you can also normally make a claim if the accident wasn’t your fault, and we can help. The Montreal Convention allows those injured between passport control in their country of departure, and passport control in their destination country, to bring a claim in the UK courts. Bell Lax has specific expertise in claims brought under these rules, so you can rest assured your case will be in experienced hands and you’ll have the best chance of reaching a financial settlement that adequately compensates you for your injuries and loss of enjoyment of your holiday.
Accidents at Sea
We have helped many travellers receive the compensation they deserve after being involved in accidents at sea, whether on a cruise ship, a ferry, a boat excursion, a jet ski or other water going activity. Accidents that occur in foreign waters are covered by the Athens Convention which allows for claims to be brought in the UK courts.
Skiing and Snowboarding Accidents
Thousands of people are injured in skiing and snowboarding accidents every year, some of them through no fault of their own. Specialist legal knowledge is required to deal with claims arising from snowboarding and skiing accidents, and to properly interpret local laws and determine who was at fault for the accident. If you’ve suffered injuries in a ski accident, we can help.
