Accident on Holiday Claims! Claims Abroad.
Holiday Illness Claims Solicitors
Holidays are usually fun, however this is not always the case and thousands of people each year get sick as a result of the food the have ingested or water the have consumed on a package or all inclusive holiday. If you are unlucky enough to have suffered from an illness whilst you are abroad you will know it can be a terrible experience, especially if you don’t speak the same language. If you have been sick on this type of holiday then you could be entitled to claim compensation.

At Whiterose Blackmans Solicitors we fight hard to win our cases, we have the client at the centre of all that we do. We have offices in Leeds however our holiday illness specialist lawyers will deal with the claim for you making it ‘hassle free’ wherever you are in the UK.
Lawyers for holiday illness claims
There may be varied reasons why you are abroad, on holiday or on business, that doesn’t matter. If you have suffered an illness abroad whatever the purpose for your trip you could still claim.
Food Poisoning on holiday claims
Frequent ‘illness abroad claims’ we deal with are:
- Food Poisoning including Campylobacter, Salmonella & E-Coli
- Poisoning from water or fluid you have consumed such as Cryptosporidium
- Bacterial, viral or parasitic infections such as Giardia Lambila
Symptoms include diarrhoea, stomach pains and cramps, vomiting, headaches, nausea and various abdominal complaints. Dehydration can often lead to a stay in hospital and can also lead to other serious complications.
Bacterial, viral, or parasitic infection claims!
Holidaymakers are subjected to food poisoning after they consume food or a drink which are infected with bacteria, parasites, viruses or toxins. By far the most common type of food poisoning experienced by travellers is from a bacterial cause such as campylobacter, E. coli, or the salmonella infection. Also Shigella and Giardia Lamblia can also be contracted; this an infection in the small intestine caused by the parasite Giardia Lambilia. Symptoms are stomach cramps, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and other unpleasant symptoms.
There is also the ‘holiday bug’ (as it’s often referred to) ‘Cryptosporidium’. This is also one which we come across frequently. Cryptosporidium is linked to food washed in contaminated water, however it is normally contracted by accidentally consuming swimming pool water contaminated with faeces.
It is important that the illness you have suffered is diagnosed by a GP. Producing a stool sample is not always pleasant but such tests help to identify the exact bacteria, virus or parasite that is causing the illness and once that has been identified the treatment can begin. It is also important to have the illness recorded by a doctor.
If any illness is confirmed as being food poisoning and you suspect that it was contracted at your holiday hotel the Food Standards Agency will be notified by your doctor.
Illness Abroad Compensation Claims. How Much compensation will I be entitled to?
The amount of compensation you will receive will depend on the circumstances of your individual case. The average compensation payment is around £2500 plus reimbursement of the cost of your holiday. This said every case is different and many people get considerably more than that plus other costs they have incurred (medicines they may have bought, travel expenses etc).
If you have had suffered from an illness on holiday of this nature it is good advice to claim as soon as you are able to. We have been able to commence cases that were within the 3 year cut off period. We are normally able to work on a NO WIN NO FEE basis.

4/21/2020 - Stuck in a legal rut? call Whiterose Blackmans Solicitors LLP.
in 2017 we had new UPVc flush fit windows fitted to our three bedroom detached house.
From the day the windows were fitted we had problems and issues.
A question I often ask myself, time after time. Is why did I pay the full amount knowing I wasn’t 100% happy.
The window company Ryburne Windows of Halifax kept fobbing us off with excuses after excuses.
They had our money and we felt powerless to do anything. They didn’t even have a formal complaints procedure. Which they were supposed to have being a CERTASS member.
The Director of Ryburne’s told us, “just keep on writing in as the buck stops with me”.
After many letters of complaint to the window company and CERTASS - who are a complete waste of time.
We decided after two and a half years of complaining we would instruct a Solicitor.
We went to see Whiterose Blackmans Solicitors LLP armed with many documents and photos of the poorly fitted and poorly manufactured windows.
Whiterose Blackmans Solicitors LLP instantly understood our predicament and agreed to take on our case.
Despite all the photographical evidence and a joint independent Royal Institute Chartered Surveyors (RICS) report into the manufacture and installation of the windows. The window company still wouldn’t accept the findings of the Surveyor’s report.
They even got a former associate of theirs recommended by CERTASS to do a desk top critic of the independent surveyor's report.
They failed on their attempt to introducing it as evidence to the courts. Thanks to a robust defence from Whiterose Blackmans Solicitors LLP.
With less than eight weeks before the reconvened hearing - May 2020, The window company decided to settle. After some tough negotiations by Whiterose Blackmans Solicitors LLP. We got our money back for the windows plus our legal expenses.
This would never have been achieved if it wasn’t for Whiterose Blackmans Solicitors LLP.
Whiterose Blackmans Solicitors LLP, a firm you can trust.

5/13/2020 - I and my family met Anita when the previous solicitor Anuf was leaving the firm. Anita has a heavyweight knowledge of a boxer and did an excellent work to get our citizenship application successful. I would heavily recommend her to everyone as she provided great service and a patient heart.

8/22/2019 - I contacted Whitehorse Blackmans Solicitors as I needed help with my British Citizenship application. I was thoroughly and patiently guided through the maze of the questions I had by Mudassir over the phone, followed by an appointment at their office. Everyone at the office were so lovely, welcoming and helpful.
Having had horrid experience with immigration solicitors in London before, I was so pleasantly surprised at Mudassir’s efficiency and commitment to his work. Everything went incredibly fast, with my application being ready and sent off within a week. I am so thrilled to say that I received my British citizenship a few days ago! The entire process took less than two months, mainly thanks to Mudassir’s incredible efficiency and organised hard work. His work was also complimented by the lady at the Biometrics office, letting me know that my documents were uploaded in such an incredibly organised and proper manner, allowing them to move forward quicker and send my case off to the Home Office on the same day, speeding up the process considerably.
All I have to say is a massive thank you to Mudassir for his fantastic work. I highly recommend him and Whiterose Blackmans Excellent experience *****
