Holiday Injury Claims in England & Wales (EU Nationals)

If you suffered from an injury whilst on holiday or travelling through England or Wales, our expert personal injury solicitors can help review your circumstances and discuss making a compensation claim for your injuries.

If you are based in Europe, you do not have to instruct a lawyer in your home country to start an injury claim. With our specialist personal injury team, you can directly instruct our experts in England and Wales to handle your claim.  

Holiday Compensation Claims For EU Nationals  

If you are based in Europe, you do not have to return to the UK to meet up with a lawyer to make a claim. Instead, we can take your instructions over the phone or online. You also do not need to have a lawyer from your own country instruct our team on your behalf.

We are legal experts in personal injury and holiday injury claims. Instructing us directly means we can speed up the claim process and we will do our best to negotiate a compensation settlement so you do not have to return to the UK for a court hearing.

Types of Holiday Injury Claims

We can help you with all types of holiday claims including:

  • Road traffic collisions – for example, if you were a pedestrian, passenger, or suffered from an injury whilst cycling, scooting or horse riding.
  • Personal injury claims – including if your holiday accommodation was not fit for purpose resulting in an injury. For example, if you fell and broke your hip because the stair railings were loose, you and your family had severe food poisoning, or if you suffered an electric shock because of inadequate and unsafe wiring.
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning claims - if the boiler or gas appliances in your holiday letting were either not fitted properly or had not been serviced in accordance with the relevant regulations for your type of holiday accommodation.
  • Trips, slips and fall claims – this type of claim could either be made against your holiday provider, a public authority, a restaurant or retailer who had not sorted out dangerous or uneven paving
  • Medical negligence claims if you had hospital treatment whilst in England and Wales and your treatment fell below a reasonable standard, resulting in your health being affected by the medical negligence.  
  • Public accident claims - where you were injured in an avoidable accident in a public place.  
  • Serious injury claims - ranging from brain or spinal injuries to amputation claims, or if you suffered severe burn injuries
  • Fatal accidents - where an incident has resulted in the death of a family member.

Whatever the nature of your injury, our experts will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

We understand that you’ll want to focus on your recovery first and wherever possible, we’ll provide you with guidance and resources to help you on your journey.  In some cases, we may even be able to secure money to assist in paying for appropriate therapy to aid your recovery or equipment to make your life easier.
