How to make a holiday accident claim after being hurt skiing

There's not a feeling in the world like skiing down a mountain with the sun on your back, the wind on your cheeks and your skis cutting through the powder. The pure exhilaration and the sense of freedom is awesome and there's no better way to spend a cold winter's day.

But sometimes skiing trips don't quite turn out as planned and a holiday accident resulting in personal injuries can ruin the fun in an instant.

If you're on a package holiday then your tour operator has a duty of care over you. That means they're responsible for your wellbeing and if you're hurt because of their negligence you could be in a position to make a holiday accident compensation claim.

If, for example, you were injured in a coach crash on the journey from the airport to the resort, you should be able to pursue an accident claim, just as you could if you were hurt because of a faulty hotel bed.

Suffering personal injuries whilst out on the piste is a different kettle of fish. Skiing is obviously a high-risk activity and so you should always arrange insurance cover to protect yourself in case you crash and injure yourself. Doing so will certainly make the process of a holiday accident claim easier.

If the skiing accident was not your fault, however, making a personal injury compensation claim is a possibility. If someone was drunk, for example, or even just skiing dangerously, and careered into you whilst you were quietly making your way down the mountain you may be able to make a no win, no fee holiday accident claim against them..

Whilst on a package holiday the skiing equipment you're provided with should be safe and not put you at risk. If one of your bindings detaches from the ski or if a ski suddenly snaps because it was faulty, you may then be able to make a compensation claim against your tour operator.

If ski lessons come as part of your holiday package then the standard of instruction should be suitable. There have been reports of holidaymakers who have been left with serious personal injuries after instructors took them on ski runs that were far too advanced for the group's level of proficiency. Such incidents have also resulted in holiday accident claims for compensation.
