Unfortunately, this is all too common. People who have encountered illness or accident abroad, or have simply had a holiday from hell, have their complaints dismissed by the tour operator - apologetically usually, but still dismissed – and give up in frustration.
Part of the problem is the fact that a foreign jurisdiction, a foreign language and foreign law are involved. People are often daunted by the prospect of bringing a claim in this country, let alone a foreign one.
This is where a specialist lawyer is a must. At Gordon’s, we can read, write and translate from a number of European languages and have experience of bringing claims in a number of foreign jurisdictions, which are often radically different to our own. Claims have been brought against tour operators, cruise lines, hotels and airlines.
