Scotland is a unique country rich in history and historical treasures. It is natural for any visitor to Scotland to find its dramatic landscapes and superb examples of architecture throughout the ages to be beautiful but a little daunting. It is reassuring to know that all tour operators and trusts in Scotland have a duty to protect holidaymakers from the danger of personal injuries sustained in accidents and that failure to do so invites the risk of injured parties making no win, no fee claims.
Whether a visitor is enjoying the sights and wonders of Skara Brae, Edinburgh Castle or Lochwood Tower, whoever runs the historic site has a duty to ensure that all visitors are exposed to an absolutely minimal danger of the kind of holiday accident which might cause personal injury.
While, because of the high standards of health and safety implemented in most of Scottish sites of historic interest, injury causing accidents and no win, no fee claims are relatively rare, there can be no room for complacency.
Many historic sites are fraught with very specific risks. Unless these sites are well-maintained and clearly signposted, the risk of the kind of the accident which might result in a no win, no fee claim is relatively high.
For example, buildings of a certain age often have uneven and hazardous walking surfaces of the kind commonly associated with slip, trip and fall accidents. To avoid the risk of facing no win, no fee claims, there are a number of precautionary measures those responsible for ensuring safety on a particular site can effect.
In instance of uneven and hazardous surfaces, either providing clear and unambiguous signage warning of the slip and trip risk or, where necessary, laying a safety-first floor covering, are steps which can reduce the risk of visitors sustaining personal injuries and subsequently needing to make no win, no fee claims.
Also, to avoid the risk of visitors needing to make no win, no fee personal injury compensation claims for falls from height, installing appropriate safety barriers in elevated areas where there is a danger visitors might trip over the existing wall or barrier is an absolute necessity.
Another accident injury risk associated with visiting historical and tourist sites in Scotland is that of simply getting to and from the place of interest.
If you are travelling by bus, it is always advisable to check that the operator is fully licensed and qualified to make the journey. Any road accident may result in you needing to make a no win, no fee claim for bus passenger injuries.
Similarly, if you drive to the tourist attraction yourself and are involved in a road accident which is not your fault, you may be entitled to make a no win, no fee claim for car crash injuries.
Whatever the case, there is substitute for basic caution and commonsense, as no one wants to sustain personal injuries and a no win, no fee claim is always best avoided where possible.
