A holiday injury will always be traumatic. However, it is when children are injured while on holiday that things become particularly traumatic.
One way parents can help prevent their children suffering severe injury while abroad is to ensure that they have the safest possible child car seat.
Fortunately, for parents who decide to take a trip with their children within the EU, the law is the same as within the UK.
Although there are some exceptions for emergency or short and unforeseen car journeys, this means that all EU holidaymakers must ensure children under the age of three are buckled into an appropriate car seat.
For parents travelling with children up to the age of eleven, it is essential that a suitable booster seat is used. However, for children who have reached 1.35m tall before the age of 12 it may be possible to travel without a booster seat.
Some holidaymakers, particularly those who visit cross-channel countries like France and the Netherlands, will take their UK-registered vehicles with them, meaning they are able to use their regular child car seats. Those hiring a vehicle abroad should find that any hire firm worth its salt has a selection of EU-compliant car seats to choose from. And, if taking a bit of extra time to make sure you're abiding by the law helps avoid unnecessary holiday injury, it is certainly worth it.
Cost free compensation for your holiday accident
We work for our holidays, they are an opportunity for us to rest, relax and unwind. However, when things go wrong, the effects of losing out on an opportunity to recharge our batteries can be far-reaching.
Not only can the joy of the holiday itself be lost, but we may also suffer ill health as well as losing out on earnings and incurring medical expenses.
Fortunately, in holiday accidents that were caused by another party - perhaps a road user, tour operator, holiday or restaurant - it is possible to claim compensation for our losses.
The no win, no fee solicitors on our panel specialise in helping people who find themselves in these circumstances and have an excellent track record in securing clients the 100 percent compensation they deserve.
Win or lose, we never charge a penny for our services, ensuring the whole holiday injury claims process remains cost free from start to finish. We offer so much more than a simple "no win, no fee" service.
