Accidents In Hotel Grounds In Spain

Hotel grounds are often the source of accidents for British holidaymakers in Spain usually due to poorly maintained walkways or equipment.

Hoteliers are obliged to provide safe surroundings for their guests but unfortunately often fail to reach the required standard resulting often in serious injury to the victim and thus completely spoiling their holiday.

Reported accidents often involve slipping on unmarked wet floors, tripping on rough and poorly maintained footpaths and falling down stairs. You could also suffer injury due to using faulty equipment provided by the hotel.

Such dangerous conditions can be caused by faulty handrails, inadequate lighting or spillage not cleaned up, or a combination of all of these.

If you have suffered an accident causing you injury which is not your fault you may well be entitled to claim compensation against the tour operator who organized your holiday in Spain.

If you are injured in an accident you should report it to the travel representative and enter details in the hotel accident book. Taking photographs of the location is a good idea and get names and addresses of any witnesses to the accident. You should also of course take medical advice and keep all receipts for any expenses caused by the accident.
