Our client was awarded £100k for a skiing accident on holiday in Switzerland in which she broke her leg and arm.

An accident claim abroad, which was conducted by Mr David Dickie, settled for £9,000, shortly before a trial in Stoke on Trent County Court.
Whilst on a package holiday with First Choice PLC in Fuerteventura, our client was walking off an entertainment bar stage at a holiday resort when he slipped on some liquid on the floor and fell.

He sustained a fracture of his leg and arm that required surgical treatment to obtain union.

The claim was defended on the basis that the holiday company claimed that they had in place an adequate system of inspection and cleaning of the floor, evidenced by the fact that there had been no previous similar accidents, and the flooring surface was suitable for the area in question and complied with local legislation.

We obtained witness statements from seven people on the same holiday that the Defendant was not operating a reasonable system of collecting empty glasses and clearing up floor spillages because they did not have enough staff on the night, that the tables were congested and did not allow proper access and egress from the stage, and that there was not suitable non- slip flooring.
