Holiday excursion accident compensation claims
Excursion accident compensation claims often arise when holidaymakers are injured during pre-booked activities abroad, such as water sports, boat trips or hot air balloon rides. Penningtons Manches Cooper can help you make a holiday accident claim if the accident happened because of negligence on the part of the excursion provider.
Trusted solicitors for excursion accident compensation claims abroad
Our specialist solicitors are experienced in handling compensation claims relating to injuries sustained during activities arranged through a package holiday company, or a local representative acting on their behalf. Where the excursion forms part of your package and was sold by a UK-based tour operator, you may be entitled to bring a package holiday accident claim in England and Wales under UK law.
We regularly advise clients involved in road traffic collisions during transfers to a hotel or for accidents which occur during the course of an excursion included within the package. If the local provider failed to comply with expected safety standards and customs, we may be able to assist you in claiming compensation through the courts of England and Wales.
If your excursion was arranged independently or you need to pursue a claim abroad, we can investigate liability against the local excursion company and their insurers in the country where the accident occurred. This often involves gathering local accident reports, arranging expert medical assessments and liaising with foreign legal teams. Our international network ensures we can handle complex jurisdictional issues on your behalf.
Where appropriate, we may also assess the potential to claim against your credit card company under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act if the excursion cost more than £100. This route also enables us to pursue a claim via the English courts.
They have a wide range of people who can deal with lots of different issues.

We offer funding solutions suited to your needs – including no win, no fee agreements – and free initial advice, which can include guidance over the phone, a review of your documents or a visit from one of our solicitors who specialise in accident abroad compensation claims.
