Badly maintained sporting equipment can injure you, and polluted swimming pools can cause severe illness. You can get food poisoning in restaurants and sustain injuries at fairgrounds and at public events. Any claim you make must be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, but, if you are injured while on a package holiday, the claim can sometimes be dealt with at home, even though the accident occurred abroad. It will certainly be worth your while ringing Accident Line to ask our opinion.

Normally the people responsible for the accident or illness will be insured, so any compensation will come from an insurance company.
