Expertise And Compassion From Irwin Mitchell
For many of us, a holiday is a time to look forward to and an opportunity to get away from it all, whilst exploring new countries and cultures. It's often a once a year, or even once every few years, event and to have your break ruined by an illness on holiday can often be devastating, not to mention costly.
Most British holidaymakers return to UK shores with nothing more than a tan and happy memories but for some, experiencing an illness on holiday can not only ruin the holiday but also leave the sufferer with long-term symptoms.
An illness on holiday can ruin your well earned break and an alarming number of people every year experience a serious or long lasting illness. Some holidaymakers experience a long lasting illness which sees them suffering the effects of their illness weeks, or even months, after they return home.
At Irwin Mitchell we understand how distressing it can be to experience an illness on holiday. Our dedicated solicitors are experts in the field of holiday illness claims and we can help you to recover compensation for your illness.
We have solicitors who specialise in travel law and even some who work abroad, so we can provide the professional guidance you need to make a claim for your illness on holiday.
Handling Your Claim For Illness On Holiday With Sensitivity And Professionalism
We understand that suffering from any kind of illness on holiday – whether it results from eating poorly prepared food or unhygienic accommodation – can ruin your whole holiday, turning what should be a relaxing experience into the holiday from hell.
As well as ruining your break and taking up time that would otherwise be spent enjoying your holiday, the stress of seeking foreign medical assistance, the costs of healthcare and the effect on your wellbeing can also be severe.
Our dedicated travel law team has a wealth of experience in travel illness claims, as well as foreign lawyers who have an insight into foreign legal systems, meaning we can offer you expert support and advice.
An illness on holiday can be caused by a wide range of factors but in the past we have represented those affected by:
- An outbreak of illness at a hotel, including food poisoning and illnesses related to poor hygiene standards
- An outbreak of illness on a cruise
- Illnesses caused by food poisoning or bacterial infection from a restaurant or bar
Regardless of what type of illness you have suffered while on holiday, Irwin Mitchell could help you to make a claim for your distress. Our solicitors will fight fearlessly to help you recover compensation and to bring justice against your tour operator.
