Suffering a personal injury in an accident in a foreign hotel can be a terrifying experience due to the language barrier and the difference in the standard of hospital treatment when compared with the UK. Getting compensation for your injuries can be of particular importance to pay for any medical expenses or ongoing treatment you require that your travel insurance may not have covered.
Spain is a popular destination for British holiday makers thanks to its excellent transport links and promise of hot sunshine and golden sandy beaches. Hotels can also be much cheaper than ones in the UK and some great bargains can be found on package deals.
However, some cheaper hotels may not adhere to strict health and safety practices, like those in place in the UK, making a hotel accident more likely.
In 2010, a British holidaymaker suffered a fractured skull and severe burns after a steam pipe exploded next to her in the popular resort of Marbella. The woman had been on holiday with her husband and their friends when the incident happened outside the three-star hotel where they were spending a week's break.
The woman was in a critical condition following the accident and had second degree burns covering 20% of her body. Her husband also suffered leg injuries in the blast as the explosion knocked them several feet into the air.
Speaking of the moment the explosion happened, the husband of the injured woman said: "I thought at first a bomb had gone off. There was this huge bang and the ground shook."
The explosion was caused by a steam pipe which fractured in two sending plaster and bricks into the air.
It was not reported at the time of the incident whether a hotel accident claim is likely to be launched against the resort for the woman's injuries.
If you have been injured in an accident at a foreign hotel, you could make a compensation claim for your injuries.
