For example, if you were to book a packaged holiday that included a flight, and during your flight you experienced negligence that caused an injury, then you could make a claim against the tour operator in the UK.

Mis-Sold Pension Compensation Claims
There are certain scenarios where you might require the expertise and guidance of a financial adviser. If you are making a financial decision or purchase, such as a mortgage, pension, or a loan, then a financial adviser could assist you throughout this process, providing you with factual and relevant information. But in the event you suffer a financial loss due to a financial adviser, you could have grounds to make a claim.
You may also have grounds to make a claim if financial adviser mis-sold, misadvised, or persuaded your final decision. By law, a financial adviser is required to supply you with all the relevant information before a final decision. So any additional fees, hidden costs, threats to your finances, and alternative options should be outlined. But in the event that you have lost out financially due to a mis-sold or ill-fitted advice, you could have grounds to make a claim.
Tenancy And Rent Deposit Disputes
There are some cases for compensation that are caused by a rent deposit dispute. When you begin a new tenancy and sign the agreement, your landlord is required by the law to;
- Protect your deposit throughout the tenancy
- Submit your deposit into a government-backed scheme
- Provide the tenant with information regarding the deposits protection and location
When your tenancy comes to an end, your landlord should return the deposit within the legal timeframe. In most cases, the return time for a deposit is 10 working days from the date that the deposit is terminated. But in the event a landlord fails to return your deposit with solid justification or reasoning, then you could have grounds to claim it back. In most scenarios, our panel of solicitors could assist claimants throughout this process by (potentially) winning a settlement between one and three times the original amount of the deposit.
As with all claims for compensation, we would recommend that you speak with an advisor regarding your potential claim. As they can outline whether you have an eligible claim and provide you with free legal advice.
