COMMON QUESTIONS
HOW LONG DO I HAVE BEFORE I HAVE TO MAKE A CLAIM?
Normally a claim must be made within three years from the date of an sickness or illness. But, it is always advisable to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
I was sick on holiday but I have travel insurance, can i still claim?
Travel insurance will help pay for the medical costs whilst you are on holiday, but you cannot make a compensatory claim for the medical fees or for the subsequent effects, such as loss of work. At C&G we help you recover these additional costs Travel insurance will help pay for the medical costs whilst you are on holiday, but you cannot make a compensatory claim for the medical fees or for the subsequent effects, such as loss of work. At C&G we help you recover these additional costs
i was sick on holiday, how much can i claim?
Each case is different. So, there is no set amount, but it is not unusual for someone that has suffered a mild case of food poisoning and the associated cramps and diarrhea to receive an amount in the region of £800 to £3000.
i was ill on cruise, is this the same as a package holiday?
Simply put - Yes. Cruise companies still operate under the packet Travel regulations and need to ensure that their clients are safe. Although with cruises you may be covered under the Athens Convention 1974, if this is the case you are only eligible to make a claim if it occurred within the last 24 months. If you have been unfortunate enough to have been sick whilst on a cruise, it is important that you contact a legal representative ASAP.
i did not stay on an all inclusive holiday, can i still claim?
In cases where you did not stay in an all-inclusive resort, then you will more than likely have eaten outside the premises and in places that would not be covered by your booking contract.
Although it is possible to claim i.e. it may be a case that you stayed B&B, validating a claim would be very difficult, unless there is further evidence such as photo evidence highlighting poor hygiene or numerous cases

“IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL HOLIDAY SICKNESS CLIENTS"
All existing clients making a claim for damages resulting from a sickness whilst on holiday would have previously received advice from this practice regarding potential fraudulent claims.
However, given the alleged increase in fraudulent claims and the heightened press coverage of late the Solicitors Regulation Authority advised all solicitors firms to further advise clients on as regular basis of the consequences of bringing such claims.
Furthermore, this practice has received correspondence from all of the major tour operators confirming that all fraudulent claims will be prosecuted for fraud and/or contempt of court and possibly sued in the tort of deceit. You could also be responsible for the tour operator's legal costs of defending your case if the court believes that you are fundamentally dishonest and you will in those circumstances also be responsible for this practice's costs. Finally, the Solicitors Regulation Authority has also deemed it prudent for us to advise all clients of their duty to make full and frank disclosure of all documents and materials, if necessary, as required by the tour operator. These could include holiday photographs whether they are contained within a social media forum or otherwise.
This practice prides itself on its integrity and to protect its genuine clients as well as the practice we believe it was necessary to take these steps and warn all clients as to the potential risks of making such a fraudulent claim. We must stress that as an existing client we do not believe your case is fraudulent, as evidenced by the fact that we have accepted your claim and processed it to this point.
If any client has any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Mark Connor on email [email protected] or by telephone 0151 339 2393
