Accidents In Hotels In Spain

If you have an accident in your hotel, then you may be entitled to compensation if you suffer an injury as a result.

The hotel owes a duty of care to it`s guests to provide safe and secure accommodation and if it fails in it`s duty then it will be liable for any injuries and losses suffered by victims.

There are many ways in which someone could sustain an injury but the most common are slips and falls caused by slippery flooring, either in the hotel room or on a staircase.

Faulty electric or gas appliances can be a source of danger to holidaymakers in Spain, a lack of maintenance can have serious or even fatal consequences.

Badly laid out rooms or sharp edges on furniture can also cause nasty injuries.

If the balcony to your room has not been properly maintained this could have disastrous consequences.

If you suffer injury and loss in a Spanish hotel you can bring a claim for compensation in the UK as the tour operator who arranged your holiday is responsible for the failings of your hotel.

If you are injured you should make sure that you report your injury to the travel representative and the hotel manager. Take photographs, if possible, of the site of your accident. You should also take medical treatment and keep details of any expenses that you incur.
