Holidays are supposed to be a time for relaxing and enjoying yourself but unfortunately many turn out to be the exact opposite following a holiday accident or illness. A great proportion of these accidents and injuries happen as a result of operator negligence.
We helped a family from Cornwall make a holiday accident claim who had experienced such negligence first hand whilst on a cruise ship in the Caribbean.
Case study - Norwalk virus on a cruise ship
In 2004, the couple, both 43, took their children, aged 8 and 11, on a two-week Caribbean cruise that set off from Florida. Unfortunately, three days into the cruise they came down with sickness and diarrhoea.
The illness was widespread and many other people, both passengers and crew, on the cruise ship also became unwell. Samples were taken in which a Norwalk virus was detected.
The family suffered badly from the effects of the cruise ship virus and had to stay in their cabin for almost a week, totally ruining their holiday.
They made a complaint to the cruise ship company but it was not taken seriously and the family were quickly dismissed. Upset at the uncaring attitude of the company, the family decided to make a holiday compensation claim. We accepted their claim on a no win, no fee basis and a personal injury solicitor who has specialist knowledge of holiday accident claims was chosen to represent them.
The solicitor was able to gather strong evidence that the cruise ship company did not do all they could have done to prevent the outbreak and spread of the virus. After a period of nine months, liability was admitted and a four figure settlement was agreed.
We made absolutely no deductions from the personal injury compensation the family received and did not charge them anything for our service.
