Vacation Injuries Are More Common Than You Might Suspect
We’d like to think that vacations should be all about fun and relaxation, but in the summer of 2023, nearly 200,000 children sustained injuries that put them in emergency rooms. These injuries resulted from summertime vacation staples like bicycles, swimming pools, fishing rods, and common playground equipment.
While vacation accidents can quickly derail your plans, a vacation injury lawyer can help. At Lowcountry Law, Matthew Breen is dedicated to building your case and securing the compensation you deserve.

Am I Able To Sue for Vacation-Related Injuries?
Yes! You can sue for injuries resulting from the negligence of another party while on vacation. But bear in mind that just because you’ve sustained an injury while traveling does not guarantee that you have a personal injury claim. Accidents are not always the direct result of someone else’s negligence.
A valid claim for injuries sustained during a vacation must involve an act of omission or negligence by another party. An example of this would be a head injury resulting from a fall on a slippery floor at a concert venue or hotel. Proving liability can be challenging, but a vacation injury lawyer uses their specialized knowledge and experience with vacation injury cases to fight for fair compensation.
In a vacation-related injury case, you can sue for any losses you’ve suffered as a direct result of the accident. These include:
- Medical bills (both current and future)
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Damage to personal property
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of life enjoyment
Proving the Responsible Party Negligent
Your vacation injury lawyer at Lowcountry Law will gather evidence to demonstrate negligence on the part of the responsible party—whether due to faulty equipment, violations of state or city codes, lack of proper supervision, or another unreasonable risk. Even if you’ve signed a waiver or the defense argues that you were partially at fault, your lawyer will work diligently to overcome these challenges.
Fortunately, our team has extensive experience handling cases like yours. We have the expertise to help you maximize your compensation. By carefully reviewing all the details of your case, we’ll work to achieve the best possible outcome!
