Excursion accident damages claims, Scotland

When you’re on holiday, it is unlikely you will stay in one place for the whole trip. Indeed, you may take part in a whole selection of tours and excursions, so you can explore the region you are visiting.

Excursion Accident Damages

If you are injured during an excursion, you may be able to make an excursion accident damages claim against the tour operator.

The tour operator has a duty of care towards you while you are on the excursion. If they fail in this duty and you are injured as a result, then you could make a claim.

A trip abroad should be an opportunity to unwind and de-stress. It shouldn’t be blighted by injuries. If it is, you should have access to compensation.

Our Fee Structure

Success Fee: If your claim is successful, our success fee is charged as a percentage of compensation awarded to you. This fee covers our legal services and includes the cost of After the Event (ATE) insurance to protect you against having to pay the other side’s costs if your claim is unsuccessful.

No Win, No Fee Explained: You will not pay any legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. However, if we secure compensation for you, our success fee will be deducted from your compensation award before payment to you.
