Water park holiday injury - Package travel claims from the UK

Your holiday is important. It could be a special romantic break, your annual two weeks with the kids or a lifelong wish-fulfilment trip; it doesn't matter what it is, it's important and you want it to be perfect. But, what if the nightmare happens and you sustain a holiday injury?

In July 2007, a 35-year-old mum from Stockport was injured whilst on holiday in Egypt. The accident occurred in a water park after a collision with another holiday maker that caused substantial injuries to her collarbone and ribs. She endured many months of hospital treatment and has been left in severe, continuous pain. She has had to stop working since the holiday.

Even though this holiday maker took out relevant insurance from her travel company, she has had great difficulty claiming compensation from them for her holiday injury. She claims the regulations were not explained clearly to her at the time of booking and the travel company state that the accident was beyond their culpability.

This holiday maker has finally resorted to protesting outside the premises of the travel agency in an attempt for her case to be heard more thoroughly.

At YouClaim we aim to make claiming for a holiday injury or a holiday accident claim a little less demanding than this lady's placard-waving approach. If you have suffered a holiday injury and wish to make a holiday claim then our specialised personal injury claim solicitors can help.

The Package Travel, Package Holiday and Package Tour Regulations 1992
These regulations state that if you sustain a holiday accident on an activity that was organised by the tour operator as part of your package deal, you can make a holiday accident claim against your tour operator in the UK.

Whilst on holiday and suffering the injury, compensation may be the last thing on your mind, but once at home in the UK you are entitled to make a claim against your tour operator. This can be substantially less stressful than claiming whilst abroad, as our claim specialists can help you whilst you are in the comfort of your own home and in a language that you understand completely. We will even simplify much of the legal jargon and any of the relevant regulations that govern your claim.

If you or a loved one has been injured whilst on any type of package holiday then call our friendly helpline at YouClaim to see if we could help you win compensation. Our solicitors work on a no win, no fee' basis with protection from any other legal costs; so you can start a compensation claim with total peace of mind.
