Norovirus, often referred to as the 'winter vomiting bug', is one of the most common gastric illnesses in the UK. It has severe symptoms that can last several days and can have long-term effects such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and psychological damage.
If you’ve had norovirus, we might be able to help you make a compensation claim. Contact our team of expert solicitors to see if you can make a claim.
We can take norovirus claims on a no win no fee basis. This is offered on a case-by-case basis and might not be suitable for everyone; this is something we’ll discuss with you at the start of your claim.
How does norovirus spread?
Norovirus can spread very quickly in public places such as restaurants, hospitals, schools, hotels, or cruise ships. The main way you can catch norovirus is by eating contaminated food. The virus can also be spread by touching a contaminated surface or being in close contact with someone who has the illness.
In many instances, norovirus spreads because an organisation or business hasn’t adequately followed hygiene procedures. If you’ve fallen ill because these procedures have been neglected, you may be able to claim compensation for your suffering and to cover any expenses you’ve incurred.
