£6,000 compensation awarded to holidaymaker floored by travellers diarrhoea in Egypt
Thanks to the travel law experts at HolidayIllnessClaims, a Kent woman has successfully received £6,000 in a compensation pay-out from TUI UK Ltd after her Egyptian holiday was ruined by gastric illness.
Travellers diarrhoea in Egypt
HIC client, Denise Brothers jetted off to the five-star Jaz Mirabel Park in May 2015. During the second week of her 2 weeks stay, Mrs Brothers was struck by the crippling symptoms of travellers diarrhoea.
Despite seeking medical attention in resort and being prescribed a regimen of medications by the hotel doctor, Mrs Brothers remained unwell throughout the remainder of her stay.
On her return home, Mrs Brothers sought further medical advice from her own GP as she continued to experience bouts of gastric upset and endured a number of infections. Her doctor advised that the ferocity of her holiday illness left her immune system compromised and diagnosed her with post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome, a condition which still troubles Mrs Brothers today.
Speaking to the dedicated lawyers at HIC, Mrs Brothers claims that hygiene standards throughout Jaz Mirabel Park were far from five-star with a number of her fellow holidaymakers also suffering from gastric issues.
She draws particular attention to food and pool hygiene, stating that:
Flies and birds were seen around prepared food
Swimming pool water was not clean and clear
HIC secures £6,000 settlement
Anne Thomson, head of travel law at HIC was Mrs Brothers first choice for legal representation.
Acting on a no win no fee basis, Anne secured £6,000 in compensation from tour operator TUI UK Ltd. This total included an amount to reflect the cost of ongoing prescription charges as well as compensating for Denises loss of enjoyment, and pain and suffering.
Commenting on the case, Anne said: It was my pleasure to help Mrs Brothers.
