Accidents abroad: The statistics

Accidents abroad are more common than you might think. According to the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, over 17,000 British nationals required consular assistance for accidents or illnesses abroad in 2023. In Dorset, with its vibrant communities and frequent travellers, residents are not immune to these risks.

• Over 3,000 UK holidaymakers report injuries from package holidays annually, many involving Dorset residents travelling to popular destinations like Spain, Turkey, and Greece.
• Road traffic accidents abroad account for 25% of all holiday injury claims, with Dorset residents reporting incidents in countries with unfamiliar driving conditions.
• Slips, trips, and falls in hotels or public spaces make up 30% of claims, often due to poor maintenance or inadequate safety standards.
• Illnesses caused by poor hygiene, such as food poisoning, affect thousands of UK travellers each year, with Dorset cases frequently linked to all-inclusive resorts.

These statistics highlight the importance of seeking expert legal advice. Marley Solicitors has a proven track record of securing compensation for Dorset residents, helping them recover financially and move forward.
