A Guide To Claiming Compensation For A Jet2 Package Holiday
If you have experienced an injury whilst on an overseas package holiday you have the right to make a compensation claim, if the accident was not your fault. The Package Travel, Package Holiday, and Package Tour Regulations of 1992 state that if you are injured on a package holiday abroad and the tour operator has liability, you are entitled to claim compensation for your injuries from the tour operator.
By liability we mean that the tour operator acted negligently (for example ignoring a health and safety hazard), which caused you to experience an accident, leading to an injury or illness. For a holiday to count as a package holiday you have to have booked at least two of these services via the same tour operator: accommodation, transport, or another service not related to accommodation or transport.
Jet2 Holidays is a popular package holiday provider in Britain and also specialises in all inclusive holiday deals and last minute package holiday deals. If you have experienced an accident that was not your fault while on a Jet2 Holidays package holiday overseas, you could be entitled to claim thousands of pounds in Jet2 holidays compensation. Call Legal Expert’s team today to talk about your Jet2 holiday complaint and see if you could make a claim for Jet2 compensation.
Which Accidents Most Frequently Happen On A Package Holiday?
Holidays take place in an unfamiliar environment where we often take part in activities we wouldn’t choose to take part in at home. As holidaymakers we rely on tour providers to keep us safe when we are boarding their flights, eating at their restaurants or taking part in activities that they have organised.
Hotel related accidents that occur on a package holiday include wet flooring causing slip, trip and fall accidents, swimming pool accidents and food poisoning from a hotel buffet or restaurant. Holidaymakers can also be injured on hotel organised activities such as during excursions, watersports such as jet skiing, swimming or rock climbing accidents. Some holidaymakers also hire a rental car through their tour operator and road traffic accidents can be caused by a defective or substandard rental car. If you have been injured in any of these common package holiday accidents, or any other type of accident during a Jet2 Holiday you could claim compensation for your injuries. Contact the team at Legal Expert to see if you are owed Jet2 compensation.
What Duty Of Care Do Tour Operators Owe Holidaymakers?
If you book a package holiday through a tour operator, the Package Travel, Package Holiday, and Package Tour Regulations of 1992 state that they owe you a duty of care as a customer. When you book your package holiday through Jet2holidays or elsewhere, you will have to sign a contract which states what responsibility they owe you as a tour operator.
The tour operator accepts liability for your health and safety on the trip, if any of the tour operator’s suppliers break the contract they have with the tour operator, the tour operator will accept liability. How is liability established? For a tour operator to be liable for a customer’s injuries, they have to have committed an act of negligence or failed to provide a holidaymaker with a safe environment.
For example, if a holidaymaker experiences a slip, trip, and fall accident because a broken railing collapsed beneath their weight, the tour operator is liable. If a holidaymaker falls on the stairs, but the stairs and railings of the hotel are found to meet proper health and safety regulations and it was an unfortunate but unavoidable accident, the tour operator will not be liable for the holidaymakers’ injuries.
Is There A Time Limit For Making My Jet2 Compensation Claim?
If you experience a Jet2 Holidays accident, which causes you to become injured or ill, you will have 3 years from the date of the accident or you realised that you had been harmed to make your claim for Jet2 compensation.
If your accident happened when you were on a flight purchased through Jet2 Holidays, to or from your holiday destination and the United Kingdom you will have 2 years from the incident taking place, or becoming injured, in which to make your Jet2 package holiday injury claim. To talk about the possibility of making a Jet2 package holiday injury claim call Legal Expert for your free legal consultation.
Can I Claim Compensation For An Accident In A Hotel?
Legal Expert has plenty of experience helping clients make tour operator compensation claims for injuries they experienced whilst staying in a hotel. If you have been injured in a hotel that you booked through Jet2 Holidays, you could be entitled to make a Jet2 holidays compensation claim.
Most hotels are run to a high standard. However, hotels are busy places, providing multiple services to their guests. If safety hazards are ignored, or any processes within the hotel are run negligently, this can cause guests or staff to experience accidents, making them injured or ill as a result. For example, if a swimming pool is not attended by a lifeguard and proper pool safety regulations are not followed, accidents and injuries can take place. If the swimming pool is not treated with chlorine, this can also lead to guests catching water-borne illnesses.
Inside the hotel, there are also potential hazards. Guests can be hurt by faulty gym equipment. If spills are not immediately cleaned up in restaurant or lobby areas, slip, trip, and fall accidents can happen. If food and drink are not prepared according to proper standards of food hygiene, guests can experience Jet2 Holiday food poisoning incidents at hotel bars, restaurants, and buffets. If you have experienced an injury or illness at a hotel in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you could be entitled to claim Jet2 holiday compensation.
Package Holiday Road Traffic Accident Claim
If you have been involved in a road traffic accident on holiday, while travelling on public transport, using a bicycle, or as a pedestrian, you could be entitled to claim compensation. Motorists have a duty of care over other road users, so if you are involved in a road traffic accident on holiday that was not your fault, you could be entitled to claim compensation. The 4th EU Motor Directive of 2003 states that all cars have to be registered on a centralised database, meaning that if you are injured in a road traffic accident in an EU country, the car and its owner should be easy to trace. If the car in untraceable, you will be able to claim compensation for road traffic accidents from the Motor Insurance Bureau.
Restaurant Accidents And Injury Compensation Claims
If food is not prepared properly according to food hygiene regulations, or out of date food is served this can cause guests to become ill with food poisoning. In addition to this, in some popular tourist destinations such as the Balearic Islands, the tap water is not safe to drink untreated, so washing salad in tap water or serving drinks with ice made from tap water can lead to guests becoming ill. If you have suffered Jet2 holiday food poisoning while eating at a hotel restaurant, buffet or drinking at a hotel bar, you could be entitled to claim for Jet2 holiday food poisoning compensation. Call Legal Expert today to talk about your experience and discuss the possibility of claim Jet2 compensation for food poisoning today.
What Evidence Will Support My Jet2 Holiday Claim?
The recommendations below is advice on how to collect evidence to support your Jet2 Claims for compensation, if you are involved in an accident that was not your fault while you were on a jet2 Holidays package holiday. It goes without saying that if you are seriously injured or ill, you should seek immediate medical assistance.
If you experience an accident that was not your fault when you are on a Jet2 holiday, which results in you becoming injured or ill, there are some steps you can take to gather evidence which will help to support your Jet2 holiday compensation claim. We have listed these steps below:
- Take photos: If you are able to take photographs of the hazard that caused your injury, or photographs of the injury itself, this can serve as visual evidence to support your Jet2 package holiday injury claim. Include a date stamp if possible.
- Jet2 holiday complaints: If you are injured or made ill due to an accident that happened on a Jet2 Holidays package holiday that was not your fault, make sure you make a Jet2 holiday complaint and report your injury to the tour operator. Be sure that they record your injury accurately.
- See a doctor: As we have said, it is important to see a doctor, or for more serious complaints go to an Accident and Emergency department of the nearest hospital, if you are seriously injured or ill. When you are being treated the doctor will write a medical report which will be an account of your injuries, how long it may take you to recover and what medical treatment you will need. The medical report will help your personal injury solicitor determine how much much compensation you should be entitled to claim and will also serve as evidence of the pain and suffering you experienced due to your injuries.
- Keep all of your receipts: You should keep the receipts or records of all your expenses associated with your injury, including medical costs, the cost of medication, transport costs and the record of any loss of income you experienced, if your injuries caused you to take time off work.
Compensation Claims Against Jet2 For Injuries
Compensation payouts for personal injury claims can vary depending on a number of factors, and it can be split into two heads of claim: general damages, and special damages.
General damages is the portion of your compensation award that covers your injuries, and how they affect you in your day-to-day life. For example, if you suffer a permanent leg injury that affects your mobility, employability, and quality of life, this may draw a higher general damages award than that of a simple leg fracture with a quick recovery.
However, due to the differences between claims, there is no average Jet2 compensation and as such, it can be hard to get an idea of what your award could potentially look like. However, by using the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG), we have created a compensation calculator table to help you get a view of what you could receive in the event of a successful personal injury claim.
| Injury type | Severity | Settlement band | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Food poisoning | (i) | £38,430 to £52,500 | Severe symptoms and effects of food poisoning. Claimant will have stayed in hospital. |
| Food poisoning | (ii) | £9,540 to £19,200 | Symptoms may persist for several years later. |
| Food poisoning | (iii) | £3,950 to £9,540 | Full recovery is expected within one year. |
| Back injury | Minor (i) | £7,890 to £12,510 | Full recovery within 2-5 years. |
| Back injury | Severe (i) | £91,090 to £160,980 | Damage to the spinal cord and nerve root damage. |
| Neck injury | Minor (iii) | Up to £2,450 | A full recovery in three months. |
| Neck injury | Severe (i) | In the region of £148,330 | Incomplete paraplegia or other severe conditions that require a neck collar 24 hours a day. |
| Fracture of Clavicle | N/A | £5,150 to £12,240 | Consideration given to the extent of the disability and any residual symptoms. |
| Simple Forearm Fractures | N/A | £6,610 to £19,200 | Simple fractures to the forearm. |
The second head of your claim is known as special damages. Not everyone is eligible to claim under this, as special damages aims to provide compensation for any financial losses you may have incurred as a direct result of your injuries. For example:
- Lost earnings
- Domestic help
- Childcare expenses
- Travel costs to and from hospital appointments
- Home adjustments, such as a stairlift or a wheelchair ramp
