Package Holiday Claims
Who Can Claim Compensation for A Package Holiday Accident?
A package holiday is defined as a pre-arranged combination of two of the following components: transport, accommodation or other tourist services’. This does not include airport transfers.
If you’ve been involved in an accident or become ill while on a package holiday, you may be able to claim compensation from the tour operator.
Our lawyers can help people injured abroad due to the negligence of a package tour operator or an excursion provided by someone else.
Package tour companies are responsible for managing transportation, accommodation, planning, and recreational activities. They have a legal duty to take all necessary safety measures to ensure travellers are safe for the duration of their holiday, including transport.
