The last thing you think about when booking your holiday is something going wrong but when it does the unfamiliarity of your surroundings and lack of local knowledge makes seeking compensation all the more daunting.

UK tourists on a traditional package holiday have the benefit of powerful consumer legislation in the form of the Package Travel Regulations 1992. This EU legislation allows the consumer to bring their injury claim against the holiday company that sold them the holiday and avoid the need for a more complex and uncertain claim under a foreign legal system. In effect, the holiday company become liable for the fault of the suppliers of the service in the package (hotel, food, transfers, etc) even if that supplier is a different company altogether based abroad.

The holiday market is changing. With the decline of the traditional package holiday more and more British tourists are making their own independent arrangements or picking and choosing from a range of services. With this change has come a need for a more innovative and specialist legal advice for those who are injured on holiday and seek redress. Pannone have led the way in taking action on behalf of their clients to see that the small print of a holiday contract does not allow holiday companies to avoid their responsibilities. We have found that many tourists accept what they are told by holiday companies about their rights without seeking specialist legal advice on the meaning of their holiday contract.

Holiday accident claims

Here are some examples of the cases that our holiday claims solicitors have handled:

• road traffic accident claim - a family injured in a transfer mini-bus crash in Morocco recovered over £500,000 for their serious injuries
• swimming pool claim - a mother and two children injured on a defective slide at their hotel in Spain were told by the holiday company that their claim should be directed to the hotel but as a goodwill gesture were offered £300 in holiday vouchers. We established the UK holiday company's liability and the family were awarded over £8000
• fall claim - an elderly holidaymaker suffered a fractured leg in a fall in his hotel restaurant in France caused by a spillage. He recovered £10,000 in compensation
