In this case study, we are going to look at the case of Mr G (whose name we have abbreviated for reasons of confidentiality) who suffered a minor head injury in an accident on holiday. Mr G was 51 at the time of his injury, which occured in 2013 when he was on holiday at an overseas beach resort. Mr G was on the beach when a parasol was blown out of its base and struck him on the crown of his head.
After his head injury took place, Mr G was taken to the local health centre where he sought minor head injury treatment, including treatment for the cut which the parasol had left. Six weeks later after Mr G had undergone a period of minor head injury recovery time, he was left with a 3cm scar on the crown his head where the cut had been, which was highly visible as his hair no longer grew over the scar tissue. He was left with no other minor head injury symptoms.
Unfortunately, some 4.4. million Britons have recently suffered a holiday accident abroad. These accidents range from cuts and bruises to food poisoning and minor head injuries. As well as affecting the victim’s enjoyment of their trip and their health, these accidents on holiday have also cost the sufferer at least 1 billion in medical expenses. Depending on the laws and regulations of the country where you had your accident, claiming compensation for an accident on holiday abroad can be a complicated process. Therefore it is imperative that you hire an experienced personal injury solicitor when you make an accident claim, who can ensure you get the compensation that you are entitled to. Please read our guide on claiming compensation for accidents on holiday abroad for more information.
Mr G (the Claimant) decided to pursue personal injury compensation against the holiday company (the Defendant) on the grounds that the parasol that struck him on the head was faulty and shouldn’t have been able to come loose. He worked in a customer facing job, so was disappointed to be left with a visible scar and the effect it could have on his career. The allegation was made that under the Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992, the holiday company had been negligent and had breached their duty of care towards Mr G as a customer.
Fortunately, the Defendant admitted liability. Mr G was awarded a settlement of £6,000. The settlement took place out of court.
