Dealing with accidents and illnesses whilst abroad

A lot of the actions you need to take once you’ve had an injury or are suffering from an illness while in another country are similar to what happens in the UK, but there are some small differences. Take a look at the advice below to see what you should be doing if you are unfortunate enough to become ill or obtain an injury/injuries.

• See a doctor – There is only one place to begin, and this is with the fact that you need to see a doctor. Of course, your health is the most important thing and so it is imperative that you receive proper treatment. However, when minor injuries are sustained a lot of people bypass a trip to the hospital. This will seriously hamper your accident claim. How can you expect to get compensation if there is no professional proof of the injuries you have sustained?
• Report the incident – In some instances, it is necessary to report the incident. Some criminal injuries and road traffic accidents will need to be reported to the police. If you are claiming for medical negligence, it is also wise to make a formal complaint. Furthermore, you need to report incidents at your hotel to the manager. Make sure you call your insurer too.
• Get contact details – It is always a good idea to get the contact details of the person that caused the incident as well as any witnesses. You will need the perpetrator’s name, address, telephone number and the details of their insurer. Witness contact details are beneficial, as their statements will be great for evidence.
• Keep proof of expenses – The last thing you need to do is make sure you keep proof of any expenses you have encountered because of the injury. This can be anything from medical costs, to travel expenses, to loss of income, to accommodation costs. You will be able to claim for these as special damages when you make your Mykonos holiday illness claim.

Emergency services in Mykonos

Before you go on holiday, it is always a good idea to write down the emergency numbers you are going to need. In Mykonos, 112 is the emergency number. For the Fire Brigade, call 199. For emergency doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies, call 14944.

Claims for injuries on all inclusive and package holidays to Mykonos

To be deemed a package holiday, the deal you booked must have included at least two of the following: accommodation, travel, and/or travel services like excursions.
