Wedding guest knocked unconscious in holiday slip receives £4,000 in damages
A holidaymaker from Hull has received £4,000 in a successful no win no fee compensation claim after her stay at Dreams Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, was ruined by a holiday accident.
Mary Robinson contacted the expert injuries abroad solicitors at HIC following an unpleasant slip at the four-star Caribbean resort.
Holiday accident in the Dominican Republic
Mary jetted off to the popular destination wedding hotel in late July 2013 to celebrate a close family friends nuptials.
Unfortunately, by the time of the big day, Mary was left feeling like the elephant mans sister due to facial injuries sustained in a holiday slip.
I was very upset about how I looked at the wedding and my accident put a dampener on proceedings, she states.
I tried to look the other way on photographs so that my injuries could not be seen â?¦ My grandchildren kept away from me because of how I looked.
Speaking to the travel law specialists at HIC, Mary describes how upon entering her hotel bathroom one day, she immediately slipped, hit her head on the bath and was knocked out.
After being found by her friend, Mary started to vomit and was referred to the local hospital after examination by the hotel doctor.
Fortunately, a head scan gave Mary the all clear and she was discharged with medication and advice.
How HIC successfully won this case
Tracy Stansfield, experienced holiday accident claims solicitor at HIC, was Marys first choice for legal representation.
