It was supposed to be a relaxing Caribbean vacation for Tom Klatt and his wife after a stressful year. Instead, a fall at an all-inclusive resort turned his life upside down.
Tom Klatt, a high-profile private investigator, wants to warn Canadians about the difficulties they might face if they're injured on vacation abroad after his own decade-long legal battle.
Now 12 years — and a decade-long legal battle — later, Klatt wants to warn Canadian travellers about how hard it is to hold others accountable for injuries sustained on vacation abroad. "There were no rails," Klatt told CBC News. "I slipped off the second-last step, crashed into the wall and had severe pain in the left leg."
When Klatt returned to Toronto, an orthopedic surgeon diagnosed him with a left quadriceps tendon rupture. Klatt underwent surgery to repair the injury, but it ruptured a second time in March of that year. Then 49, Klatt had to have another operation. The retired Toronto police detective and prominent private investigator — he was hired to investigate the murders of billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman in 2017 — visited the villa with a video camera and tape measure while staying in another part of the resort.
