Can you Claim for Illness on a Package Holiday?

Have you become injured or fallen ill on a package holiday, and need to make a claim for compensation?

Nothing can ruin a holiday faster than a sudden injury or illness. However, we can help you make a claim for compensation quickly and easily, and in a way that is less likely to be rejected.

Just fill in a few quick facts, and we’ll get started. You’re only a few clicks away from all the compensation you are deserved!

Our lawyers specialise in representing UK holiday makers who fall ill abroad, or following holidays.

Have you recently returned from a holiday, and been diagnosed with a salmonella, cryptosporidium, ecoli, campylobacter or shingella infection?

If so, you may be owed compensation!

How much might I be owed for my condition?

That of course varies depending on the unique circumstances of your case, but awards can range to as much as £15,000 pounds!

What causes holiday illnesses?

Just like at home, holiday illnesses can have a variety of causes. Some of the most common include:

• Improperly prepared, lukewarm or over-rare food
• Food left to stand too long, or too often reheated
• The presence of fecal matter, often as a result of contact with flies or other insects
• Contamination by birds or other animals in food service areas
• Contamination from those who handle or prepare the food
• Ice made from unfiltered water
• Raw vegetables or salad
• Cryptosporidium or other chlorine-resistant parasites or infections spread through ingestion of swimming pool water
• Door handles, especially those of public toilets, but anywhere they may have come into contact with someone who has not washed their hands
