£3,500 Compensation Secured for Accident Abroad

Our expert personal injury solicitors were recently instructed by a client who suffered a non-fault injury whilst on holiday in Tunisia.

The claimant was on an all-inclusive package holiday at the ClubHotel Riu Marco Polo with Thomson Holidays when the accident abroad occurred.

During our client’s stay at the hotel, the weather on occasion had been fairly windy. According to our client, when the weather was particularly windy, staff at the ClubHotel Riu Marco Polo would remove sun parasols from their concrete slabs and place on the floor, so that they would not blow over.

However, on one occasion when the weather was bad, the staff simply lowered the parasols, instead of removing them form the slabs completely.

Our client was sunbathing by the pool when a gust of wind lifted the parasol and concrete block, which then struck the claimant’s legs.

As a result the claimant sustained injuries and losses thereof. She had bruising and pain to both ankles and bruising and pain to her left calve. She reported this to the rep and filled in the accident book and took pain killers for her injury.

Our expert team managed to secure £3,500 personal injury compensation for our client on this occasion.

Our client was delighted with the outcome and said:

“Thank you for all the effort given in completing this claim”.
