£4,100 compensation success for mother and daughters ruined first holiday in Spain
Thanks to the specialist solicitors at Holiday Illness Claims, a single mother and her daughter have received a £4,100 compensation pay out following an unsafe first holiday abroad in Spain.
Emma West and her 7-year-old daughter Shennai, jetted off to the four-star Evenia Olympic Park hotel, Lloret de Mar, in August 2015 with high hopes for a memorable stay.
Unfortunately, just 48 hours into their first holiday abroad together, the Kent mother and daughter were struck by flu-like symptoms succeeded by sickness and diarrhoea.
Gastroenteritis outbreak
Owing to the severity of the illness symptoms, the pair sought medical treatment from the local pharmacy.
Speaking to the legal experts at Holiday Illness Claims, mother Emma argues that loads of her fellow hotel guests were also suffering from similar illness symptoms, in a suspected outbreak of gastroenteritis.
Emma is certain that poor hygiene standards at Evenia Olympic Park were responsible for her and her daughters suffering. The concerned parent labels cleanliness at the resort simply disgusting and claims to have witnessed the following:
Uncovered food attracting swarms of flies
Food was served undercooked and at a lukewarm temperature
Food appeared to be recycled
Pool was not cleaned once in the two weeks we were there
Bedding was not changed throughout her stay
Emma was so upset with the accommodation that she made her concerns apparent to the tour operator representative and even contacted Thomson directly during her stay. However, her pleas were met with little response and she remains indignant that she and her daughter were placed in an unsafe resort:
I saved hard for 2 and a half years and this was our first holiday abroad on our own, Emma states, I feel that I as a single parent, was sent to a resort, with a 7-year old, which was completely unsafe for us to be at.
The mother and daughter remained unwell on their return home and continued to suffer from repeat illness symptoms for a further 2 weeks. GP tests confirmed that the pair had indeed contracted gastroenteritis.
Experienced lawyer Tracy Stansfield represented both Emma and Shennais claims for compensation on a no win no fee basis, securing a combined pay out of £4,100 for the stricken pair.
Commenting on the case, Tracy said: I am so pleased that I was able to help Miss West and her daughter obtain compensation following a ruined first holiday at Evenia Olympic Park.
