Frequently Asked Questions


If you were hurt whilst on holiday or away for job-related reasons, you are probably experiencing a flood of emotions and reactions. Having questions and concerns is natural during this painful and confusing time. That is why Applebys Solicitors make themselves and their staff members available to consult with you and address your many valid concerns. From the initial free consult throughout the claims process, you will never be alone. Because you will receive the individualised attention your questions deserve, we will only take up three issues that often concern victims of accidents abroad:

What does 'no win no fee' mean?
When you meet with Applebys' personal injury lawyers to discuss your case, the visit will be free of charge. If we determine that your case is valid, we'll take it on at no cost to you.

Do I have any basis for a claim if I became ill on a cruise ship?
If your illness was caused by a breakdown in the ship's hygiene conditions, you should definitely consult a personal injury solicitor. The illness you suffered not only diminished your enjoyment of the cruise, but it also may have caused more long term effects.

What are my rights if I had an accident in a foreign hotel whilst on holiday through a group package?
As long as your holiday was booked through a UK travel agent, you can make a claim against the holiday company. In this instance, the foreign hotel and its staff are considered agents of the holiday company, making them potentially liable for damages.
