Holiday Accidents and Illness Claims
If you have been injured in an accident abroad or become ill whilst abroad due to the negligence of another, our personal injury solicitors could help you claim compensation.
Holiday Accidents and Illness Compensation Claims
Every year, hundreds of thousands of British families go on vacations both in the UK and abroad. While most of those vacations are incident-free, many people are still injured while travelling. Sometimes these injuries occur due to the negligence of others.
If you or a family member were injured on holiday or became ill on holiday due to the negligence of someone else, you may be entitled to make a holiday accident and illness claim.
Common Types of Holiday Accident and Illness Claims
There are many different types of claims for holiday accident and illnesses. However, some of the most common types that we see at Rees Clayton Solicitors include:
- Road traffic accidents
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Accidents at sea
- Skiing and sports injuries

How much compensation can I claim?
The amount of compensation you are eligible to receive for any of the aforementioned accidents will be determined by your specific set of circumstances, as every case is different. We will work to obtain general damages for you, which are monetary awards made to you in response to the type of injury you have suffered, taking pain and suffering, loss of amenity, and general inconvenience into account. Furthermore, we will recover any special damages, which are all losses and costs directly caused by the accident including but not limited to:
- Current and future loss of earnings
- Medical expenses (both whilst abroad and back in the UK)
- Care and rehabilitation costs
- Loss of enjoyment from your holiday
