Learn moreIf you’ve been injured whilst on a package holiday abroad, taking the right steps early and seeking the advice and legal representation of one of our experienced holiday accident claim solicitors is crucial. Acting promptly helps protect your health, ensures vital evidence is preserved, and prevents you from unknowingly accepting decisions or offers that could limit your right to fair compensation.
At Holiday Claims Bureau, we always advise seeking medical treatment as soon as possible and asking for written medical records, even if the injury seems minor. The accident should be reported to hotel staff and to your tour operator’s representative so it is formally logged. Where possible, we recommend gathering evidence such as photos or videos of the hazard, images of your injuries, and witness contact details. Keeping all medical documents and receipts, notifying your travel insurer promptly, and avoiding admitting fault or signing documents you don’t fully understand can also help support a strong holiday accident claim.
Once you’re back in the UK, we can assess whether you’re able to bring a holiday accident claim and guide you through the process from start to finish. We will explain your rights clearly, handle the legal complexities, and work to secure the maximum compensation you may be entitled to.

Yes, you can claim compensation for an accident abroad, and we’re here to make the process straightforward. If your injury was caused by negligence - whether at your hotel, on the aeroplane, in a restaurant, or in a road traffic accident, our expert holiday accident solicitors can help you make a successful holiday accident compensation claim.
Yes. Under the Package Travel Regulations, we’re responsible for ensuring all parts of your holiday are delivered as promised, so if you suffered illness, an accident, or significant disruption caused by poor standards or negligence, you may be able to make a holiday injury claim. Holiday injury compensation can cover parts of the holiday cost, medical expenses, lost earnings, and loss of enjoyment in addition to compensation for your holiday injury. If everything was booked together for one price, it likely qualifies as a package holiday, and we can help you take the next step.
You typically have up to 3 years to make a holiday accident claim if you booked a package holiday with a UK tour operator. If you’ve been injured whilst on holiday abroad, get in touch as soon as possible and we’ll let you know exactly how long you have, and guide you through the next steps.
If the tour operator, or company you booked your holiday with, has already offered you compensation, it’s important not to rush into accepting it. These early offers are often significantly lower than what you’re legally entitled to. Before agreeing to anything or signing any paperwork, speak to one of our experienced holiday accident solicitors today. Contact us on 0161 813 2131, complete the online contact form to request a call-back, or speak to a legal representative via live chat.
To support a holiday accident claim, gather clear evidence showing what happened, who was responsible, and how the incident affected you. Useful evidence includes photos or videos of the scene, any hazards, and your injuries, plus witness names and contact details. Get a written accident report from the hotel, resort, airline, or excursion provider, and keep all medical records, prescriptions, and treatment receipts. Save proof of financial losses such as medical expenses, transport costs, unused excursions, and lost earnings, along with your travel insurance documents and booking details if it was a package holiday. Keep copies of all communication with staff or insurers, and consider keeping a brief diary describing what happened and how the injury impacted your trip. Collecting this evidence early will help strengthen your claim.
Yes, you can make a holiday accident claim even if the accident happened in the UK. If you were injured at a UK hotel, resort, holiday park, campsite, B&B, or during an organised activity, you may be able to claim compensation if negligence was involved.
