A Guide To Claiming For An Accident In Ibiza And Formentera Airport

Ibiza Airport is a popular airport with British tourists. Not only does it serve Ibiza, but it serves Formentera too, with regular ferries helping people to get to their holiday destination. The airport is a seasonal base for Vueling, and there are a lot of seasonal flights across Europe, as well as a number of year-round domestic services. If you have been involved in a Formentera and Ibiza airport accident, and it was not your fault, there may be a chance you could claim compensation for your injuries among other things. In this guide, you will discover everything about making a case. This includes information on specific illnesses and injuries, as well as details on the claims process. Plus, we will help you to get an understanding regarding how much compensation you may be entitled to for your airport accident.

What Is An Airport Accident In Ibiza?

Put simply, an airport accident in Ibiza would be an accident that occurred while in the Ibiza airport or its surrounding grounds. It could be anything from a slip, to a fall from height, to food poisoning, or allergic reaction. In order to be able to make an Ibiza airport compensation claim for such incidents, there are three main areas that need to be taken into consideration.

  • Who caused the accident? – The first thing you need to do is establish responsibility for the incident. This is the most imperative component of any personal injury claim against Ibiza airport because you need to show that they are at fault if you want to have any chance of securing compensation. You must prove that the airport in question acted negligently or made an error and that this caused your injuries. After all, you certainly cannot launch a compensation claim against yourself. What happens if you were partially to blame? If so, you could still be entitled to compensation, however, the amount will be a lot lower to reflect your involvement. Give us a call to discuss this in further detail, as we will be able to provide you with more clarity once we know about the specifics of the incident.
  • When did the incident happen? – It is vital if you are thinking about making any type of personal injury claim to do it as soon as possible as there are strict time limitations put on such cases. It’s not always a good idea to wait around because court proceedings must be issued within this time frame. The limits in place when it comes to injury cases are not very lenient and the only exceptions occur when injuries develop over time, for instance, repetitive strain injury or industrial diseases. If you are unsure what the time limit is on your case call us and we will clarify this for you.
  • Have you seen a doctor for your injuries? Last but not least, some people find it hard to make a claim if they have not seen a medical professional. After all, it might be harder to prove the extent of your injuries if there is not an expert opinion to back it up. The medical report is sometimes the most vital piece of evidence when it comes to a claim, which is why you need to make sure you get medical attention, irrespective of how minor your injuries may be. If you are yet to see a medical professional, this is something that your solicitor can often arrange for you.

  • See a medical professional – No matter how minor your injuries may seem, it is important to see a doctor if you want to secure compensation, whether at the time or arranged later by your lawyer. A doctor will put together a medical report and this is sometimes the most vital piece of evidence in any compensation case. It usually states your injuries, medical diagnosis and treatment, serving as proof and being used to determine how much compensation you could be entitled to.

No Win No Fee Accident Claims Against Ibiza And Formentera Airport

When it comes to making a claim for compensation for an airport accident, one of the biggest concerns people have is the cost of personal injury lawyers. There are a lot of solicitors that charge quite high prices for their services. However, the good news is that it does not always have to be this way, as there is an affordable and low-risk alternative in the form of No Win, No Fee solicitors. Below, we answer your queries about costs…

  • How much does making a compensation claim cost? This is entirely dependant on the solicitor you choose. Solicitors charge different fees for their service, so you will need to enquire directly. Nevertheless, when enquiring about fees, please make sure you are fully aware of what you are getting for your money, i.e. what is included in the fee that has been quoted.
  • What is a No Win, No Fee solicitor? This is a solicitor who agrees to a payment structure whereby you will only need to pay legal fees if compensation has been awarded.
  • Why is a No Win, No Fee service better? We believe this is the case because the payment agreement means that you are offered a considerable amount of protection financially. You can make sure you don’t fall into the trap of paying a huge sum of money only for your case to be unsuccessful. This leads to other benefits too. As the holiday accident solicitor is impacted by the outcome of your case, you are more likely to experience a better service if you go for a No Win, No Fee solicitor.
  • Do I pay tax on the compensation I receive? No, the money you receive in the form of accidents compensation is not taxable.
  • Can I receive 100 per cent of my compensation? In 2013, there was a change in legislation that stated your solicitor cannot recover success fees from your Defendant any more, meaning you need to pay some of your legal fees if using a no win no fee solicitor.
  • How do I find an affordable service? Luckily, you don’t have to search very far at all, as this is exactly what Legal Expert provides. We are one of the leading firms in the UK and all of our solicitors work on a No Win, No Fee basis. All you need to do is browse our website to discover more about the service we supply.
