Food poisoning is one of the most common illnesses to affect people who are on holiday abroad. If you've caught food poisoning because of negligence on the part of a hotel, restaurant or tour operator, our lawyers could help you claim compensation.
Anyone serving food, wherever they are in the world, has a responsibility to ensure they're following health and safety procedures properly. Tour operators also have a responsibility to ensure that the hotels, cruise ships and other venues they use are following food safety best practice. If they've failed to do this, the tour operator could be held liable for your illness.
Food poisoning is a common collective name for a number of different conditions, mostly with similar symptoms such as diarrhoea and vomiting. These conditions not only ruin a holiday, but can have long term health effects too. Our lawyers have a great deal of experience making holiday food poisoning claims that involve:
- Gastroenteritis
- Norovirus
- Campylobacter
- Salmonella
- E-coli
- Shigella
- Listeria
- Giardia
- Cryptosporidium
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS)
