Expert Knowledge And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
While most British holidaymakers enjoy a relaxing holiday, for some the experience is ruined by an outbreak of giardiasis. Sadly, every year hundreds of tourists are affected by contaminated water, making their holiday a memorable one for all the wrong reasons.
Giardiasis is often caused by water or food which has been contaminated by human or animal faeces. The parasite is spread by poor hygiene and can be ingested if you are drinking from an untreated water source, or accidentally swallow contaminated water in a swimming pool or lake. Common symptoms of giardiasis include watery diarrhoea, gas or flatulence, indigestion, nausea and stomach cramps and can lead to dehydration and weight loss.
If you have suffered from giardiasis or a similar virus whilst on holiday, Irwin Mitchell may be able to help you to make a claim for compensation.
Handling Your Giardiasis Claim With Compassion And Guidance
Our dedicated travel law experts have specialist knowledge and experience in helping those who have suffered as a result of giardiasis whilst away on holiday.
Because the parasite is so easily spread in unhygienic conditions or by poorly prepared facilities and food, the giardiasis virus is often picked up by holidaymakers staying in hotels and on board cruise liners. Due to the confined quarters of such accommodation, it is common for more than one person to suffer as a result of poor hygiene.

We will fight to make sure you get the compensation you deserve and we will consider all aspects of your claim – from recovering your holiday costs through to medical expenses and any lost earnings you may incur.
