Here we highlight some things to consider, should you or a loved one get hurt whilst on your summer holiday.

Gather Evidence
Once You Are Home
Often an accident or injury abroad can completely ruin your holiday and a serious incident can become a blur due to the shock or upset. Once you are home you may recall more information about what happened and start to consider whether you have a claim.
Even if you do not feel that you require any further medical attention, it is recommended that you visit the hospital or see your GP as often the levels of service are different to those in other countries and a second opinion may be critical if something has been missed or you have been ill-advised.
If your injuries were caused by the negligence of a third party then you may be entitled to compensation for the pain and suffering you have endured along with financial losses incurred as a result. To bring a successful claim you will need to prove that the accident was caused by negligent actions of another party – i.e. the hotel or tour operator.
Lamb Brooks is an experienced firm of solicitors who will be able to take all of the details of your accident and advise you promptly whether you have a viable claim. Our team of Personal Injury Experts work on a ‘No Win, No Fee’ basis, so you do not need to worry about incurring further costs.
A holiday is meant to be a joyous occasion that you have saved up for and looked forward to all year. It is not fair to have your vacation ruined by an accident that was not your fault, especially if you are still suffering or unable to work on your return.
If you come back from holiday with more than a tan and fond memories then please call our compassionate team on 01256 844888 or email enquiries@lambbrooks.com today.
