Illnesses
When you fall ill during a holiday, you may have a claim against tour operators in some circumstances. Examples of the cases our lawyers pursue 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.
Please note that if you booked your package holiday through a UK tour operator, the major parts of your trip (including transport delays, accommodation problems and food poisoning) will be covered by The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992.
