Illness Abroad

If you have suffered illness abroad, you may be able to claim compensation for both your illness and, if appropriate, your ruined holiday.

The vast majority of cases of serious gastric illness we deal with are contracted abroad.

Every year, Scots who take foreign holidays are victims of illness contracted in their hotel or cruise ship accommodation.  If you have suffered illness abroad, you may be able to claim damages under The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tour Regulations 1992 against your tour operator.  There is also potential for action against your hotels or any other aspect of your holiday package that could be held accountable. 

You do not always have to make a compensation claim in the country your illness occurred. If you have become unwell due to a part of your package holiday then we may be able to claim compensation through the Scottish Courts against the Tour Operator.

When it is possible for us to raise your claim in Scotland, we will do so because levels of compensation awarded are often higher, legal costs lower and time is saved.

If you are unsure whether you would be able to claim compensation , contact our No Win No Fee lawyers today FREE on 0800  0891331 or complete the compensation claim form below and we can investigate matters for you and advise you on your first step towards receiving compensation.
