Getting the best holiday accident compensation
The level of compensation awarded for accidents on holiday will depend on the individual circumstances of each case, including the extent of your injury and any financial losses you have sustained.
The precise amount of compensation will also depend upon the jurisdiction in which you bring your claim. Generally, with the exception of the USA, awards of compensation in the English jurisdiction are higher than those overseas.
We will ensure your claim is pursued to its fullest potential and recover the best compensation for your circumstances. Fill in our online claims form here to begin.
How injury compensation is assessed
Compensation for injury is claimed in addition to any compensation for a ruined holiday:
1 General damages for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused by your injury - damages awarded to compensate you for the pain and suffering you have endured as a result of an injury. This award also reflects any restrictions in your general lifestyle, such as being unable to take part in a hobby or enjoy family life. The amount of damages depends on the extent and severity of the injury, the effect it has on your day to day life, and the risk of any long-term complications.
2 Financial losses - damages to compensate you for past and future financial losses suffered as a result of your injury, which may include loss of earnings, travelling expenses, medical expenses and the cost of care. In serious injury cases there may be claims for loss of pension, aids and appliances, modifications to your home, increased home running costs, case management, private therapies, and other expenses depending on the nature of the injuries suffered.
We handle both so you get the maximum compensation for your circumstances. Fill in our online claims form here to begin.
