Specialist Knowledge And Support From Irwin Mitchell
For many, an annual holiday is something to look forward to; a time to relax and get away from it all. Most British holidaymakers return home with nothing but pleasant memories but for some, their holiday is memorable for all the wrong reasons.
Shigellosis is a highly infectious illness which is caused by a group of bacteria called shigella. Symptoms include severe watery diarrhoea, often bloody, a fever, vomiting and stomach cramps which usually begin to affect the sufferer after one or two days of being exposed to the bacteria.
If you have suffered from shigellosis or a related holiday illness, Irwin Mitchell could help you to claim compensation and recover your losses.
Handling Your Shigellosis Claim With Expertise And Sensitivity
At Irwin Mitchell we have a team that specialises in travel law. We have successfully represented people who have suffered from shigellosis whilst abroad.
Many British holidaymakers are affected by shigellosis as a result of poor hygiene and food preparation routines in holiday resorts, hotels and aboard cruise ships. Shigellosis is often caused by contaminated food, caused by infected personnel failing to wash their hands properly and handling food, or by exposure of the food to flies carrying infected faeces. Holidaymakers can also come into contact with the disease after drinking, or swimming in, infected water.
Our dedicated travel law solicitors can help you to secure the compensation that you deserve if you have suffered from an outbreak of shigellosis whilst on holiday. We will fight fearlessly to make sure you get justice and recover losses such as medical expenses and lost earnings, as well as compensation for your distress.
