When you decide to spend a great deal of money for a fun, packaged holiday abroad, you expect your money to buy you excellent service and protection. But there is always the possibility you could get seriously hurt from a simple accident. Thanks to the UK Packaged Holidays and European Legislation, making a claim for accidents incurred abroad is easier than ever.  

If you have sustained an unfortunate injury due to the negligence of workers who are a part of your organized packaged holiday abroad, you must prove their negligence was the direct cause of your injury. Accidental injuries include scenarios such as slipping and falling on the wet floor of a hotel lobby that was not marked as wet or eating food that was obviously undercooked and subsequently contracting food poisoning. Whatever the case may be, the packaged holiday operator must be held responsible for your pain and suffering.  

Were you aware the person operating your packaged holiday is in charge of making sure every aspect of your trip falls in line with consumer safety guidelines, which includes ensuring the safety of your hotel accommodations and other establishments that are part of your holiday abroad package?  However, any activity you participate in or place you visit that is not a part of your packaged holiday does not fall under the operator's responsibility.
