| CLAIMS HANDLER | Karl Rushton |
A post lady from Nottingham, who suffered a personal injury after being hit by a stray archery arrow while on holiday in Ibiza, has been awarded £1,250 in compensation.
Karl Rushton, a specialist claims handler at Jefferies Solicitors, said Lynne sustained a soft tissue injury in her right shoulder and neck following the accident, which subsequently ruined her dream holiday.
Karl comments on the accident, “While on a package holiday at the Fiesta Don Toni resort in Playa D’en Bossa in Ibiza, Lynne was walking to the pool behind a wooden structure which had archery targets clipped onto it and was struck by an arrow. The arrow had passed through a gap in the wooden structure.”
“Lynne claimed special damages for loss of holiday enjoyment and consequential losses and expenses.”
The claim was made against the hotel, for failing to protect customers and not taking the necessary care to prevent injuries or accidents.
The tour operator TUI Limited denied that the hotel was liable, instead claiming that archery was not running on the day of the incident and that the arrow could not pass through the wooden panel.
However, a third-party engineer concluded that the archery range failed to comply with the Article Regulations and the hotel was held liable as a result.
Karl said his client was happy with the outcome of the claim as the incident spoilt the rest of the holiday.
