Holiday accident claim paperwork requirements for personal injury claimants

Slips and trips while away are often a feature in holiday accident claim cases and they have the capacity to cause minor and severe personal injuries.

In cases where the injuries have been severe, it may be necessary to secure the services of a personal injury solicitor back in the UK to help make a claim for substantial damages, however in many cases holiday insurance will cover costs for any treatment required after a minor injury caused by a slip, trip or fall.

For a small claim, perhaps for dental work required after a fall which has caused damage to teeth, or if a slip has produced a sprain injury which needed investigation to rule out the possibility of a broken bone, when claiming through your holiday insurance company, you will need to produce receipts for treatment.

The advice for small claims claimants is to contact your holiday insurance company straight away after your return to the UK so that they are completely aware of the incident and what potential payout they might have to make.

Further, when paying for treatment abroad, wherever possible use a credit or debit card so that it is possible to prove how much was spent.

In all instances, but especially if you are forced to use cash, ask for an invoice or receipt for the amount charged for treatment and if costs can be itemised this will make claiming even easier.

In certain instances, where a prolonged stay is required after a holiday accident or where the injuries suffered require the holidaymaker to take time off work once back in the UK, if the accident was not the fault of the injured party then it may be prudent to speak to a personal injury solicitor as soon as possible to determine whether there are grounds to commence a substantial claim for holiday injury compensation
