Hi all
Can anyone advise about claiming for personal injury from travel companies? i had a bad accident skiing in Bulgaria and broke my femur, my travel insurance company repatriated me but i am going to have to change my car to an automatic, have been off work 4 months and am still only able to walk with crutches, can i make a claim under the personal accident section? The reason i ask is the policy says i am covered for up to £25,000 of personal accident cover but in the text only mentions death, loss of limb or permanent disablement ?

You need to speak to your insurers.0
-
You refer to an "accident" - who do you intend to sue, the snow?0
-
Has a doctor certified you as 'permanently disabled'?Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0

The travel company was not at fault, so there is no sense in even thinking about suing them. Check your insurance policy very carefully: perhaps pay a lawyer to go through all the small print and find out what you can claim.0
