On this page, you will find a guide to the legal process of making hotel accident claims in Turkey. Despite the fact that there were several incidents of civil unrest between 2016 and 2018 in Turkey, it is still a fairly safe destination for UK holidaymakers to visit. The political problems are internal, and both sides of the argument are aware of how important tourism is to turkey, and have made an effort not to damage the country’s image as a world-class holiday destination.

How To Claim Compensation From A Hotel In Turkey

Turkey hotel accident statistics

Turkey hotel accident statistics

The graph above shows historical and predicted spending trends for tourists visiting Turkey, from 2012 up to 2028. As we can see, tourism in Turkey is exhibiting a healthy growth rate. What this means, is that more tourists are visiting Turkey every year. This will also mean that there are more accidents involving tourists in Turkey. Some of these accidents will be the fault of a hotelier, and a personal injury lawyer would be able to process a compensation claim on behalf of the victim.

Every hotel in Turkey is required by law, to provide a safe place for their residents to stay. When the hotel fails in this obligation in some way, and the failure can be proven to have caused harm to a hotel guest, then a reason to make a claim will exist. If you have been injured at a hotel in Turkey, Legal Expert can act as your holiday accident solicitor, and help you to process a claim. Call us on the number at the bottom of this page to find out how.

Injuries Caused By A Slip Or Fall At A Hotel In Turkey

Of all the accidents that can happen to a holidaymaker in their hotel, slips, trips and falls are the most common. These accidents can happen in so many ways, and in so many places. Although the majority of them result in minor injuries, they can also be serious, especially for elderly people with brittle bones. Common ways a slip, trip or fall in a hotel can happen are:

  • The hotel restaurant floor being left dirty or wet.
  • People using the pool bringing water into the hotel, causing the floor to become slippery.
  • Faulty of badly laud paving slabs and curbstones in the customer parking area.
  • Badly maintained and damaged floor coverings in a hotel room, such as a torn carpet, or a warped wooden floorboard.

These are just some of the slip, trip and fall risks that can be present in a hotel. Call Legal Expert on the number at the end of this page and tell us how your fall happened, we should be able to help you purse hotel slip and fall settlements.

Sickness And Bugs Caused By A Hotel In Turkey

Many UK holidaymakers complain of an upset stomach after holiday in Turkey. Back home, we have built up a natural immunity to the kinds of bacteria that live on food or in water. However, the same bacteria and viruses overseas are slightly different, and we have no immunity. The kinds of viruses and bacteria that can cause Turkish tummy bugs are:

  • Norovirus
  • Salmonella
  • coli
  • Listeria
  • Campylobacter
  • Clostridium perfringens

All of these can infect food, and several of them can be found in the water of a swimming pool. Legal Expert should be able to help you make a holiday food poisoning claim. Call us on the number at the end of this guide, and we will explain how we can do this.

Claims Against Your Hotel For Bites From Bed Bug Bites

Bed bug bites are itchy, and can leave a person with a nasty looking rash. There is also some recent medical research that shows how bed bugs themselves, can be infected with parasites that can be passed on to humans.

If you are staying at a hotel in Turkey, and your room is infested with bed bugs, then you may have a valid reason to claim hotel bed bug bite compensation. Call Legal Expert on the number at the end of this page, and explain your situation to one of our team. They will then give you some advice on what you should do next.

Claims Against Your Hotel For Escalator And Elevator Accidents

To answer the question, can I sue for an elevator accident? then the answer would be yes, but with a single caveat. This is that the elevator accident was caused by a third party, such as the company responsible for maintaining the elevator, or the hotel that the elevator is located in.

Proving liability in this case could be complex, with both the hotel and the maintenance company denying responsibility. Legal Expert can help you to overcome this problem, by processing a holiday accident claim on your behalf. Call us on the number down at the end of this guide so that we can discuss your claim further.

Claims Against Your Hotel For Swimming Pool Accidents Or Sickness Bugs In Turkey

If you are involved in a swimming pool accident, or catch a swimming pool sickness bug in Turkey, you may have a reason to make a holiday claim. Accidents in a hotel pool can happen in many ways, such as:

  • Injuries caused by damaged or badly maintained equipment.
  • No professional lifeguard on duty.
  • Cracked or broken tiles in the pool causing cuts to the feet or hands.
  • Wet floors close to the pool area, causing a resident to slip over.

Furthermore, there are a myriad of illnesses that are waterborne, and can be caught while swimming in a hotel pool. These are caused by bacteria and viruses such as:

  • Shigella
  • coli O157:H7
  • Cryptosporidium
  • Giardia
  • Norovirus

Legal Expert can help you to claim for an injury or illness that you suffered at a hotel in Turkey. Call us on the number at the bottom of this page to learn more.

Claims Against Your Hotel For Burn Injuries

One of the most common reasons we see people make a hotel personal injury claim, is to compensate them for a burn or scalding injury. These injuries have many causes. For example, you might have an accident in hotel room involving a water heater or kettle. Alternatively, a shower may malfunction causing a resident to be scalded.

And of course, the hotel dining room or restaurant poses several common risks of burn injuries. Such as hot food or drink being spilt on a hotel guest. If you have been burned or scalded while staying in a hotel in Turkey, Legal Expert could be able to process a holiday accident claim for you. Give us a call on the number at the end of this page to proceed.

Other Reasons Why You May Need To Make A Compensation Claim Against A Hotel

Above, we covered many of the more typical ways that a person may become the victim of an accident at a hotel they are staying in, while visiting Turkey. But there are, of course, many more ways that a person can come to harm in a hotel. And these could include:

  • Faulty or damaged furniture causing a person to take a fall.
  • Damaged or faulty light fittings, plug sockets or lamps causing an electric shock.
  • Road traffic accidents while riding on the hotel airport shuttle.
  • Assault by a member of staff, another guest, or a member of the public.
  • Accidents caused by construction or maintenance that is being carried out on the hotel.
  • Accidents caused by cleaning staff while they are cleaning.

As we can see, there really are very many ways that a person can be injured in a hotel in Turkey. If you call Legal Expert on the number at the bottom of this page, and explain how your accident happened, we will let you know whether we think you have a valid reason to make a holiday accident claim.
