Booking a holiday is always an exciting process and the last thing on your mind is something going wrong while you’re away, however, when it does, the unfamiliar surroundings and limited local knowledge will make claiming for compensation a much more daunting process.

UK tourists who have booked a traditional package holiday will be protected by the powerful consumer legislation of the Package Travel Regulations 1992. This EU legislation makes it possible for the consumer to bring their claim against the company that sold them the holiday. This means that they can avoid the daunting process of making a claim under a foreign legal system. In effect, the holiday company will become liable for the faults of the suppliers and this will include all aspects of the holiday package (hotel, food, transfers, etc). This will be the case even if the supplier is a different company altogether based abroad.

With the holiday market moving away from the traditional package holiday more and more each year, there has been an increase in the number of tourists who are making their own independent arrangements for their own tailored holiday package. This change has led to more specialist legal advice for those travellers who have become ill while on holiday.

Pannone has been innovative in taking action for their clients and have led the way in ensuring that the small print in a holiday contract does not allow a holiday company to avoid their responsibilities. We have discovered that many tourists will simply accept what they have been told by their holiday company and are not seeking out legal advice on the finer details of their holiday contracts.

Holiday illness claims

Here are a few examples of cases our holiday claims solicitors have handled:

• Holiday resort illness - food poisoning claim
Compensation of more than £300,000 was settled for a tourist group who all became ill with food poisoning when holidaying in Majorca. Our expert team of holiday sickness solicitors were able to organise compensation on a no win no fee basis.

• Holiday resort illness claim - Diarrhoea and vomiting
A large group of UK tourists were awarded compensation settlements after coming down with vomiting and diarrhoea whilst staying at an all-inclusive Turkish resort. The illness was thought to have affected over half of the guests staying at the hotel.

• Holiday resort illness - salmonella/irritable bowel syndrome
Compensation of £20,000 was settled for a tourist after he started suffering from salmonella food poisoning at the hotel he was staying at while on holiday in the Dominican Republic. His holiday sickness resulted in him being left with irritable bowel syndrome.
