Holiday Illnesses
- If you have fallen ill during a holiday, our personal injury lawyers can pursue claims against tour operators in some circumstances. These include:
- Poor Staff Hygiene – Viruses such as MRSA and Salmonella are among the most harmful infections that can be passed on by people with poor hygiene. Children and the elderly are highly susceptible to these food-borne viruses, which can be fatal.
- Unclean Swimming Pools – Many viruses can survive for months in warm water and, by extension, also be present in water systems and drainage. Naturally occurring water sources such as ponds and pools can become stagnant and infectious if they are not cleaned.
- Unwashed Fruit and Vegetables – Organic consumables such as fruit or vegetables are now more responsible for outbreaks of food-borne illnesses than meat, poultry, or eggs.
Holiday Injuries and Accidents
- In a similar instance to our sickness claims, if you suffer an injury on holiday that you believe was not your fault, our team can assist you through the legal process to claim compensation. We pursue various types of claims on injuries and accidents that arise in foreign jurisdictions, including:
