Following revelations that one-third of all people who suffer a serious accident on holiday do so while playing a winter sport, UK personal injury solicitors have sought to remind holidaymakers of the importance of having sufficient holiday injury cover.
Alarmingly, according to Post Office, one in four high-octane winter sport thrill-seekers, whether snowboarders or skiers, lack the necessary insurance that will protect them in the event of an accident on holiday. This finding has been backed up by a separate moneysupermarket study, which found that 28% lacked the necessary insurance protection.
The significance of such cover cannot be underestimated; for example, statisticians have worked out that 72% of the money paid out for all skiing accident claims is for medical expenses, often running into and above the five-figure bracket.
And, although the majority of injuries sustained in such accidents are to the thumbs, knees and wrists, a significant proportion are to the spine, head and neck, meaning that quick and effective treatment can be essential to securing a successful recovery.
Worryingly, many of those who lack the necessary cover are men between the ages of 18 and 30, the group most likely to take the kinds of risks that might result in serious personal injury.
A leading UK holiday injury solicitor comments on the winter holiday worry, "Compared to a beach holiday, the chances of injury are considerably higher, so it's especially important that skiers and snowboarders take out a good insurance policy that will cover them in the event of an accident on the slopes," he said.
