Personal injury solicitors and holiday illness compensation claims

Personal injury solicitors maintain hope that, apart from gaining compensation for people who have suffered or been injured, their actions against negligent employers or companies providing products and services will ensure the companies learn and put their businesses and/or actions in order.

However, it seems that despite holiday illness claims brought by personal injury solicitors nationwide, some hotels are not improving their standards.

For instance, holiday makers first made complaints about The Royal Park Hotel in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, in 2004, soon after the 800 plus room hotel opened. Various incidents of gastric illness were recorded and Salmonella food poisoning was confirmed in some of the cases.

First Choice, the tour operator supplying the all-inclusive holiday packages, admitted liability and the holiday compensation claims were settled. However, further complaints have been received in 2008 regarding insufficiently cooked food and poor restaurant hygiene, with cases of stomach upsets being fairly prevalent.

Personal injury solicitors urge holiday makers to complain to holiday reps whilst at their resort and to document any response.  Photographic evidence of poor hygiene and food service standards is encouraged and can prove extremely useful in the pursuance of a claim.

Anybody who returns home with an illness or becomes sick on return should visit their doctor as soon as possible so that tests might determine any discernible food poisoning bug. British holiday makers who wish to make a holiday illness compensation claim can do so under the Package Travel Regulations 1992, which entitles claims to be brought against the tour operator in the UK, under UK law.
