Some holiday makers are unfortunate enough to suffer a terrible family tragedy when they are meant to be enjoying their time away from home. However, not every victim will have the possibility of making a holiday claim.
Cases in which someone is severely hurt or killed in an accident viewed as non-fault, but after which they or their family cannot receive compensation, often involve small children.
Although a holiday premises may be compliant with the necessary health and safety requirements, this may not be enough to protect an inquisitive infant if parents are momentarily distracted.
Just as accidents can occur in the home, they can also occur on holiday however secure the holiday accommodation is.
For example, in a holiday rental flat which has undergone all the correct electricity and gas safety checks, and in which there is no faulty furniture or appliances, a young child may still harm themselves by falling in the bath or burning themselves on a hot hob, for example.
Incidents such as these are often not the fault of the owners of the property, or the fault of the holiday agency.
Often, the accident cannot even be blamed on the parents, who are likely to feel that they are to blame despite their heads only having been turned for a moment.
The inquisitive nature of children is what helps them learn about the world and makes them so charming and amusing to know, but also it is sadly what puts them at great risk of personal injury.
The only time in which family members could potentially claim compensation for the injury or death of a young child on holiday, where all safety measures have been taken by the responsible authority to protect holidaymakers, would be if the premises was advertised as being child-safe.
Many people who have children would say that completely child-proofing any area is impossible, but if a premises is advertised as being child-safe and an infant harms themselves the people liable for the wellbeing of the holidaymakers could find that they have to pay a settlement for the pain and suffering of the victims.
