If you’ve been involved in a holidayaccident abroad, Shires Law Solicitors can help
you make a compensation claim on a no win, no fee basis.
Holidayinjuries often result in extremelydistressing and traumatic experiences. If
your holidaywas ruined byan accident, we are here to get you the compensation you

When you book a holidayor a trip abroad your travel agent, airline and hotel
employees have a dutyof care to ensure that you are safe and that the environment
is hygienic. If you booked your holidaythrough a UKoperator it is likelythat you can
claim against them rather than having to claim against a hotel in a foreign countryfor
example.
There are manytypes of accident that can, unfortunately, ruin what is meant to be an
enjoyable and relaxing experience for holidaymakers. We deal with all claims,
including those for:
RoadTraffic Accidents
Standards of driving differ across the world and the laws are different. If you are
involved in a road traffic accident abroad whether as a driver or passenger or
whether in a car, taxi, coach or bus, it is possible that you mayhave a right to seek
compensation if another partywas to blame and is identifiable. The law differs from
countryto countryand it is always advisable to seek medical attention immediately
as this is veryoften a pre-requisite to compensation schemes in some countries. It
is crucial to obtain details of all other persons involved. Always report the matter to
the police and keep all paperwork. Whether you were a driver, passenger or
pedestrian, if you’ve been involved in a road traffic accident abroad, Shires Law may
be able to secure you compensation.
Slips andTrips
Manypeople from the UKsustain injuries in slip and trip incidents abroad while on
holidayor on business trips. Maintenance standards differ from countryto country
and as a result people are injured in slip or trip incidents abroad. Often these are
caused bywet floors without warning signs being displayed, poorlymaintained
pavements and defective equipment. As in the UK, most private organisations and
local authorities abroad have a dutyto ensure that their premises are safe and
where theyfail to do this and a member of public sustains an injuryas a result, they
maybe found liable. Shires Law have experience in bringing these types of claim
