Thomson Holidays has made an out-of-court settlement to a holidaymaker who injured herself while dancing the salsa.
The London Evening Standard reports Kathleen Powell broke three bones in her leg and two toes and had to have four screws inserted in her ankle after falling on a wet floor during a salsa class in Tenerife in 2006.
Ms Powell said staff at the Hotel Barcelo Santiago had not warned dancers the surface was slippery and she had to give up her job as an army nurse as a result of the accident.
She received £225,000 in compensation, which will fund continuing treatment and rehabilitation including physiotherapy as well as loss of earnings.
Solicitor Demetrius Danas, of Irwin Mitchell, which represented the claimant, said: "Hotels must ensure public areas are safe for guests and they have a duty to take precautions when an area might be slippery."
Thomson did not comment.
