In most cases, basic standards and building regulations will apply to the property you’re staying in, but these can vary depending on the nature of the accommodation. For example, different standards will apply to hotels than to residential Airbnb style apartments.
So if your accident was in breach of UK building regulations, then there’s a strong chance you’ve got grounds to make a claim.
Our Holiday Accident Solicitors offer expert legal advice, and we can contact relevant engineers and architects to confirm whether the hotel has failed to comply with building regulations.
Any hotel, resort or private rental property accepting fee-paying visitors are bound by the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. Under this Act, hotels have a duty of care to protect their guests and prevent accidents where possible. This duty may well be based on local building regulations and puts a responsibility on hotel operators to risk assess their properties.
Depending on how you booked your staycation, you could make a claim against the hotel itself, the resort or property you stayed in, or the tour operator you booked the holiday through. The key point in who is responsible for the claim is who you have a contract with.
Because it’s not always obvious who the contract is with, it’s best to speak to a Holiday Accident Solicitor as soon as you can. Keep a copy of your contract and hotel booking so you can pass these onto your Solicitor when you get in touch.
Contact us to get free, specialist legal advice as soon as possible. That way, we can assess the full extent of your injuries and any financial loss you’ve suffered because of your accident. When one of our specialist Solicitors or Lawyers has reviewed the details of what happened to you, we will tell you if you can make a claim and how to get started.
We can often take on claims on a No Win, No Fee Basis – this means that you’ll only pay our legal fees if we get you compensation. We’ll do all we can to get you the best possible outcome.
