Injured in your hotel room? Claim holiday injury compensation

If you have suffered a holiday injury whilst in your hotel and you believe it was not your fault, you may well be eligible for compensation. Many people worldwide have their holidays cut short following an accident that happened as a result of their hotel room not being properly maintained.

Hotel room accidents
Some of the most common types of holiday injury that occur in hotel rooms include:

• slips and falls in the bath or shower

• cuts and bruising from poorly placed shelves and cabinets

• falls from balconies

• electric shocks

Many hotel complexes abroad do not follow health and safety measures as strictly as they should and as a result thousands of holiday injuries occur needlessly each year. The most common accident is a slip or fall in the bathroom of the hotel room caused by slippery flooring, and injuries can range from bruising to broken bones and other serious personal injuries.

If the room was poorly planned, there may be outcropping edges to cabinets or shelving that are placed in walkways. Head injuries, leg injuries and foot injuries are all common holiday injuries that occur as a result of striking a badly placed piece of furniture.

Hoteliers are normally very aware of the danger that balconies can pose and accordingly maintain them, but unfortunately not all do, with serious consequences. If the balcony of a hotel does not have proper safety railings or it is in poor condition, holidaymakers may fall from it, resulting in very serious personal injuries or fatalities.

Electric shocks can occur if the hotel room’s plug sockets and electric appliances are not regularly checked and assessed. An electric shock can cause an extremely serious holiday injury that can be life changing.

Suffered a holiday injury? Claim compensation
We can help you make a successful holiday injury claim and will help get as much compensation for you as possible. Many people are concerned that they will have to take legal proceedings abroad, but this may not be actually the case.

If the hotel room came as part of a package holiday or was owned by a British company, it is probable that we will be able to pursue your holiday accident claim in the UK instead of the country in which it happened.
